    - Rupali Kothawala


  • I came to know about the programme through my organisation, where they have been a trusted learning and development partner. I found the faculty to be highly effective, engaging participants with genuine care. The programme was well-structured and interactive, allowing for valuable connections with professionals from various fields. Coming from an accounting background, I didn’t have extensive experience with contract-related matters. This programme provided a new perspective on reading and understanding contracts. It also sharpened my understanding of finance KPIs and storytelling, both of which I can now apply in my current role to support my personal development. I particularly valued the numerous exercises, case studies, interactive sessions, and debriefs. The group project provided an excellent opportunity to collaborate, network, and create a well-rounded final presentation. I would certainly recommend it to those in my network for their own development.
