The partnership brings together best-in-class academicians and leading business advisors. The programme focuses on preparing for future readiness, connecting business with HR, driving HR transformation and shaping the CHRO agenda.

Throughout the 6-month journey, senior Aon Hewitt practitioners will mentor participants to create a transformative impact in their organization's HR function.

Sandeep Chaudhary, CEO, Aon Hewitt India, said: "When we asked CHROs on the gaps they felt in their capability when they first took on the position, business knowledge emerged as the top-most focus area. The Next Generation CHRO programme endeavors to expand the talent pool of CHROs in India by addressing such critical capability gaps".

Vasanthi Srinivasan, Professor  of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources Management at IIM Bangalore, and Anandorup Ghose, Partner & Rewards Practice Leader, Aon Hewitt are the Course Directors of the programme.
