Future Leaders’ Program (FLP)

professional institutes
and colleges
to focus on the nonacademic aspects of
leadership – marked
as essential by FICCI
Survey 2010
Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Integral Management
Future Leaders’ Program (FLP) Background
FICCI’s 2010 industrial survey on ‘Employability
Quotient of Undergraduates in
India’ reveals major gaps in the non-technical skills
of fresh graduates – skills that are placed high on
the demand scale but very low on the satisfaction
scale by the corporate.
Most of these skills are related to the very
foundation of human nature and attitude – and
therefore a challenge for institutes to include in
their regular curriculum.
FLP aims to address this challenge – by enabling a
holistic development of the individuals and
enhancing capabilities for delivering excellence.
