It includes rigorous academic sessions, case studies, peer-to-peer learning, and engagement with Harvard’s esteemed faculty and international experts.

By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, it guarantees participants acquire both a global viewpoint and hands-on problem-solving capabilities.

This is a unique moment to deepen my grasp of global leadership and policymaking while collaborating with some of the brightest minds in governance and public affairs. It’s truly a ‘back to school’ moment for me, and I am eager to gain new insights that will enrich India’s policymaking landscape."

The world is increasingly interconnected, and learning from leading policymakers and experts will assist us in crafting better solutions to challenges that affect not only India but the globe as a whole."

The WEF’s Young Global Leaders initiative plays a crucial role in shaping the upcoming generation of global changemakers by offering transformational learning opportunities like this Harvard program. Through this experience, Chadha will enhance his strategic decision-making, leadership, and governance skills, ensuring that his contributions to policymaking remain impactful, innovative, and globally informed.
