Tanmatra – Women in Leadership Programme is a transformational leadership journey designed to empower women professionals to step confidently into leadership roles, amplify their influence, and drive meaningful impact within their organizations and communities.
The programme blends self-discovery, strategic capability building, and real-world leadership application to support women at mid to senior levels in navigating complex workplace dynamics, overcoming systemic barriers, and accelerating career growth.
Programme Overview
Indian Institute of Management Bangalore’s Tanmatra – 10th Edition is a six-month, integrated leadership journey designed for accomplished women leaders at a critical inflection point in their careers. As leadership responsibility expands from functional excellence to enterprise-level influence, the programme creates a structured space to examine how behaviors, judgement, and strategic impact must evolve. Tanmatra serves as a bridge between past success and future scale, equipping women leaders to strengthen their authority, broaden their perspective, and lead with clarity and confidence at senior levels.
Programme Objectives
Tanmatra enables experienced women leaders to translate established professional success into sustained enterprise-level impact. The programme supports participants in evolving their leadership identity, strengthening cross-functional influence, and preparing for senior management and board-level responsibilities. Through strategic learning, reflective dialogue, and applied organisational projects, it builds the maturity, presence, and system-level thinking required to lead across complexity while fostering a strong network of peer leaders committed to advancing inclusive leadership.
Tanmatra is led by faculty whose research and practice focus on leadership evolution, organisational systems, and enterprise level strategy. Their guidance shapes your journey across re flection, integration, and strategic influence.

The programme unfolds across three interconnected modules — Personal Leadership, Functional Leadership, and Strategic Leadership — each designed to progressively expand a leader’s scope of influence. Beginning with deep self-awareness and executive presence, moving through cross-functional and enterprise integration, and culminating in board-level perspective and system-wide impact, the curriculum ensures participants are prepared to lead with both depth and breadth in complex organizational environments.
Module 1: Personal Leadership
This module begins with deep reflection on your leadership identity, strengths, and decision-making patterns. Participants examine what must evolve as responsibilities expand and expectations shift at senior levels. The focus is on strengthening self-awareness, executive presence, and intentional leadership growth.
Module 2: Functional Leadership
Building on personal clarity, this module broadens participants’ cross-functional and enterprise perspective. Through engagement with core disciplines such as strategy, finance, and people management, leaders integrate diverse viewpoints to enhance holistic decision-making and organizational influence.
Module 3: Strategic Leadership
The final module prepares participants to operate at the enterprise and board level. It synthesizes prior learning while addressing corporate governance, ethics, advanced negotiation, and future-ready leadership competencies. The emphasis is on shaping business outcomes, navigating ambiguity, and exercising system-level authority with confidence.
