3 Years of Developing Future-Ready Leaders through Daksh @ Leading FMCG–Agribusiness Giant | 2022–2024
Program Overview
In agriculture, leadership challenges are as diverse as the crops you grow. Mid-to-senior managers must navigate seasonal volatility, regulatory complexity, supply chain disruptions, and evolving customer demands—all while building teams that can perform consistently across geographies and business cycles.
The Daksh program emerged from this reality at a leading agri-enterprise where the leadership pipeline needed strengthening. The organization required more than periodic training—they needed a consistent, engaging capability-building experience that could evolve with changing business needs while maintaining core leadership principles.
Over three transformative years, Daksh became the flagship intervention for preparing future-ready leaders who could navigate uncertainty and drive performance in one of India’s most dynamic industries. What started as a single cohort experiment grew into a comprehensive leadership development ecosystem that reached over 200 managers across multiple business units and geographies.
The program’s strength lay in its evolution—each cohort built on insights from previous iterations, creating a continuous learning laboratory that stayed relevant to emerging leadership challenges while maintaining proven foundations.
