Ditch The
Employee Mindset

In a world where startups are eating corporations for breakfast, the traditional “employee” mindset is a fast track to irrelevance.

The future doesn’t wait for those who just follow the rules, stay in their lane, and avoid pushing boundaries.

The future demands fearless leaders – disruptors who drive relentless innovation, take calculated risks and think and act like a CEO, regardless of their title.

This is why Inc42 has created ManagementX– a 6-month transformative journey that rewires your professional DNA, equips you with the skills to thrive in chaos, and connects you to a network of rebels reshaping India's business frontier.

This is where employees become leaders, and leaders become legends!

This isn't training.
It's transformation.

This isn't a program.
It's a revolution.

This isn't about getting a job.
It's about creating the future.

Whether you're aiming to accelerate your career, lead a high-growth startup, or launch your own venture, ManagementX provides the launchpad for your ambitions.

ManagementX is a hybrid program that is delivered 80% online (virtually) and 20% offline through curated in-person experiences like Orientation Day, Mid-Program Leadership Retreat and the Convocation Weekend.

With ManagementX we’re setting a new standard of executive education for the digital economy that will define your success in the startup ecosystem.

We’ve built ManagementX keeping working professionals in mind to give them flexibility in their learning schedules without adding the overload of traveling. This is why the majority of the program (70%) is delivered online.

To make sure we facilitate deep bonding between the fellows, we host regular in-person community events and experiences including Private CXO Dinners, Founders’ Meetup, city-wise fellows’ meetup and more.

ManagementX is designed for ambitious professionals who aspire to lead, innovate, and make a significant impact in the digital world.

Yes, absolutely! ManagementX is designed keeping busy working professionals in mind to give them flexibility in their learning schedules without disrupting their regular work.

Only the candidates who maintain a minimum threshold of 75% engagement across the program will be awarded a Certificate Of Completion by Inc42.

Fundamentally, we don’t believe in certification. We believe in making you competent so you can crack your dream opportunities by yourself.

Your performance in the program will depend on your active participation in completing assignments, attending live sessions and completing projects that not only help build proof of work but also help you learn practical insights by implementing what you learnt.

The detailed grading matrix will be shared with you upon joining the program.

Fellows will need to dedicate 14-16 hours per week to the program. Out of this 6-8 hours will be required to attend the live sessions and the remaining time to complete assignments, working sessions and other engagement activities.

ManagementX will empower you with the skills that will help you crack your dream opportunities. From developing your career plan to building your personal brand, ManagementX is designed to empower you with skills to crack your dream opportunities by yourself.
