Eight cities. One transformative year.
Bangalore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, New Delhi, Vienna, New York and Washington DC — eight cities across three continents, each chosen for the forces that shape enterprise.
Different systems. Different perspectives.
Each city adds a perspective through practitioner-led sessions, institutional visits, workshops and simulations. Fellows test assumptions, risks and opportunities against the enterprise challenge they bring from week one.
The integrated PESTEL lens helps connect those observations. Four domains build capability, while the Capstone log records what the learning means for the business. Structured senior-industry mentoring begins after the first module in Bangalore.
The cities describe a learning progression, not a confirmed travel schedule. Confirmed module details are listed separately in the curriculum.
Bangalore
What fellows learn
Fellows develop fluency in the forces driving technological change globally — with a focus on how frontier technologies reshape industries, supply chains and competitive advantage. Bangalore grounds this in India's own deepening capability as a technology nation.
Learning is hosted inside institutions at the frontier of Indian technology, including IISc ARTPARK, India's first AI and Robotics Technology Park, and WMG, SOGL's flagship knowledge partner. Mentoring begins after this first module.
Dubai
What fellows learn
Dubai connects enterprise to global capital and future-oriented governance. Fellows examine financial markets, family office governance, digital government and the ownership structures that support international growth.
Fellows engage with UAE government institutions and ministers, and study capital markets inside the Dubai International Financial Centre, home to 6,500+ companies and 40,000+ professionals.
Abu Dhabi
What fellows learn
Abu Dhabi provides a setting for understanding economic transformation, institution building and the future of enterprise. Fellows explore how strategic leadership, responsible investment and innovation can create durable competitive advantage.
At Abu Dhabi School of Management, fellows examine the UAE business environment, cross-cultural leadership, digital transformation and sustainable business models.
Singapore
What fellows learn
Singapore offers the clearest example in the world of how deliberate institutional design creates national competitive advantage. Fellows examine effective institutions, AI governance and technology policy — and what that means for enterprise strategy.
Four weeks of practitioner-led learning journeys: the National Museum, Marina Barrage, URA, Duxton Housing, GovTech Singapore, EDB, MAS, One-North, Block71, NUS Enterprise, and PSA Port / Changi Airport. The module concludes with the Singapore Country Capstone Presentation.
New Delhi
What fellows learn
Delhi places enterprise within the larger context of power. Fellows develop the ability to read geopolitical shifts, understand how state strategy shapes the business environment, and identify how India's evolving global position creates both risk and opportunity.
Learning is anchored by India Foundation, a leading think tank at the intersection of strategic policy, governance and national security, well-connected to India's foreign policy and security establishment.
Vienna
What fellows learn
The Diplomatische Akademie Wien is one of the world's oldest and most respected institutions for diplomacy and international affairs. Fellows develop the ability to navigate the rules, institutions and risks that govern international business — and build the negotiation capabilities required to operate across cultures and jurisdictions.
The Diplomatische Akademie Wien has trained diplomats since 1754. Vienna is the seat of multiple UN organisations, and fellows engage directly with the international diplomatic community and European policy practitioners.
New York
What fellows learn
New York places enterprise in the context of global finance, entrepreneurship and growth. Fellows connect succession, capital allocation and international expansion to the strategic question facing their own business.
The wider US institutional network includes State University of New York at Buffalo (University at Buffalo), alongside RIT in Rochester and Lawrence Technological University in Michigan. These are regional academic partners, not institutions all located in New York City.
Washington DC
What fellows learn
Washington DC brings enterprise strategy into direct conversation with power, national security and international affairs. Fellows examine how policy choices and geopolitical change shape business risk, opportunity and leadership.
The Institute of World Politics and Hudson Institute anchor the Washington DC component. Fellows bring the learning from all eight cities back to their enterprise and refine the Capstone proposition with their mentor ahead of the final presentation in India.
