15 nights / 16 days
Why India
India is the arena of some of the earliest known human civilisations and, today, the world's third-largest economy by purchasing power. A country where 30,000-year-old rock paintings and 21st-century architectural marvels sit within the same borders. For international cohorts, no case study substitutes for standing inside it: the scale of a Hero MotoCorp assembly line, the cooperative economics of Amul, the 7.5 lakh power looms of Surat.
This programme runs a single westward arc. Delhi's policy heart, Agra's Mughal zenith, Gujarat's industrial corridor, Mumbai's financial district, and Goa's hospitality economy. Pairing each region's heritage with the industries it actually runs on. Every industry visit ends with a Q&A session hosted by a senior representative, so the group leaves with practical insight, not just photographs.
What makes it special
Hosted visits inside U Flex, Dixon Technologies, Hero MotoCorp, Zydus, Amul and Atul. Each with a facility walkthrough, a working lunch, and a closing Q&A with senior leadership.
The Taj Mahal at sunrise, the Red Fort, the Statue of Unity, and Mumbai's UNESCO-listed Gothic skyline. India's story told through its architecture, threaded between the industry days.
Small-scale footwear exporters, cooperative dairies, family-run diamond units and Fortune-500 campuses. Plus a leg on Indian Railways, the country's 1.25-million-employee lifeline.
Regional variety
Delhi's manufacturing belt, Gujarat's chemicals-to-textiles corridor, Mumbai's financial capital, and Goa's tourism economy. Each leg shows a different engine of Indian growth.
From OV Overseas, a small-scale shoe exporter to European brands. To the Surat Diamond Bourse, the world's largest office building. The full spectrum of Indian entrepreneurship.
Sessions at EDII, India's Entrepreneurship Development Institute, and the Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition by ISRO ground the factory visits in research and policy context.
