Former Union Minister of State for Finance and Civil Aviation, Jayant Sinha is a graduate of IIT Delhi and Harvard Business School whose career spans McKinsey, venture capital and Parliament. He brings to SOGL a rigorous, practical understanding of capital markets, infrastructure, technology policy and India’s place in the global economic order — rare fluency across enterprise, investment and governance at the highest level.
One of India’s most accomplished diplomats, Gautam Bambawale has served as Ambassador to China, Pakistan and Bhutan — three of India’s most consequential relationships. His deep expertise spans strategic competition, border economics and South Asia’s complex interdependencies. For family enterprise leaders navigating a world of shifting power alignments, few bring a sharper or more directly relevant perspective.
An academic and institution-builder with deep experience in leadership education, international affairs and enterprise development. Dr. Rupa Vasudevan leads the academic vision of SOGL, ensuring that every element of the programme meets the highest standard of intellectual rigour and practical relevance. She brings to the role a personal network that spans governments, universities and industry across three continents.
A distinguished Indian Administrative Service officer with decades of experience in public policy, governance and institution building at the highest levels of the Indian state. Bharat Lal Meena brings to SOGL the rare combination of institutional authority, policy insight and entrepreneurial vision that an institution of this kind demands.
A distinguished Indian Foreign Service officer with postings across Southeast Asia, Europe and South Asia, Jaideep Mazumdar has spent his career at the intersection of diplomacy, trade and India’s evolving relationships with the world’s major powers. He brings to SOGL a practitioner’s command of how geopolitical architecture shapes economic opportunity — and how India’s strategic interests translate into enterprise reality.
SOGL's faculty are drawn from its partner institutions across eight cities and three continents. They are not academics who study leaders. They are practitioners who have led, at the highest levels of government, diplomacy, capital markets, technology and enterprise, and who bring that experience directly into the room.
Faculty profiles will be updated as the programme faculty is confirmed.
SOGL is advised by a group of senior practitioners from business, government and academic institutions across India and internationally.
Advisory details will be published in due course.
The December 2026 cohort is now forming. Places are limited and allocated through personal conversation.
