Bengaluru, April 21, 2025: In its first-ever foray into the Indian education landscape, Sorbonne Business School has partnered with XLRI and Emeritus to introduce the Global Healthcare Leadership for CXOs programme, a first-of-its-kind offering designed to empower healthcare leaders and senior executives in India. This 8-month programme combines XLRI’s leadership expertise with Sorbonne’s global insights, equipping participants to navigate the evolving healthcare landscape and drive impactful change within their organizations.

With a distinguished legacy of academic excellence as well as management science education and research, Sorbonne Business School is one of the oldest French Business Schools, being founded in 1956 as a constituent of the historic University of Paris (also referred to as the Sorbonne). The Sorbonne was founded in 1150 and has created a legacy for shaping global intellectual and scientific developments with over 50 Nobel Laureates being affiliated with the Sorbonne. The institution has also played a pivotal role in advancing education, including the establishment of the doctorate degree.

The demand for Indian healthcare professionals is expected to double nationally and globally by 2030, driven by India’s shortage of healthcare workers, with just 1.7 nurses per 1,000 people and a doctor-to-patient ratio of 1:1,500 as per the 2024 report by IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation). These data underscore the critical need for skilled leadership in the healthcare sector to address workforce challenges and improve care delivery. By focusing on the intersection of healthcare policy and leadership, this programme will equip senior leaders to tackle the sector’s most pressing challenges and create a more sustainable future for Indian healthcare.

Tailored for senior and emerging healthcare professionals, healthcare innovators, policy advisors, and entrepreneurs, the programme combines live online sessions from globally renowned Sorbonne Business School and XLRI faculty, interactive learning, as well as practical application. It includes two 9-day campus immersions at XLRI campus for deep learning and networking, along with two modules from Sorbonne Business School faculty focusing on crisis management, effective communication during crises, and enhancing organizational resilience. Participants will complete a capstone project to apply insights to real-world challenges and gain Executive Alumni Status at XLRI, providing access to ongoing learning and networking.

Commenting on the launch of the programme, Avnish Singhal, Executive Vice President, India & APAC, Emeritus, said, “The healthcare industry is undergoing significant transformation. This program aims to provide healthcare executives with the skills required to manage change and lead effectively in a complex environment. The collaboration with XLRI and Sorbonne Business School offers a robust learning experience for industry leaders.”

“XLRI has a long-standing history of preparing leaders across industries. Our collaboration with Sorbonne & Emeritus aims to address the evolving needs of the healthcare sector, focusing on the operational and technological competencies required to meet current and future challenges,” said Prof. Santosh Sangem, Faculty of Finance at XLRI and Chairperson, XLRI Center for Healthcare Management.

Prof. Jorge Cardoso, Sorbonne Business School, added, “The future of healthcare depends on leaders who can think globally and act decisively. This programme is designed to prepare senior executives with the knowledge and skills needed to address critical challenges, improve healthcare outcomes, and drive meaningful change at both organizational and industry levels.”

As healthcare organizations face rising complexity and rapid change, this programme equips participants to develop strategies, enhance operations, and embrace digital advancements. The curriculum covers key areas such as stakeholder management, corporate governance, and emerging healthcare innovations — including telemedicine, data analytics, and medical technology — preparing leaders to drive impactful change.  By combining global best practices with practical strategies, the Global Healthcare Management for CXOs programme equips participants to lead with agility, build stakeholder trust, and drive growth in India’s evolving healthcare sector.

Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will gain certificate from Sorbonne Business School, ranked 63 in the QS World University Rankings 2025 and XLRI, ranked 9th by NIRF 2024.
