ET Young Leaders: An Opportunity to Shine
Tanmay Vora
India’s economic growth is largely attributed to its “demographic dividend” – a large pool of talented, competitive and growing young workforce. For India Inc., this is an opportunity as well as a challenge.
Today, India Inc. needs more business leaders than ever before, who can not only direct the energies of the young professionals but also create new opportunities to creatively engage them.
If you are the one who thinks you have what it takes to be a business leader, you have an opportunity – The Economic Times, India’s largest business daily, has launched “The Economic Times Young Leaders” initiative today.
For more information: www.etyoungleaders.com
Indian professionals between 26 and 32 years can can both nominate themselves or be nominated by their companies, before being tested on leadership skills in a structured and rigorous four-phase process that will culminate with one-on-one sessions with eight high-profile business leaders and CEO’s. To do so, this program will use proven competencies developed by SHL Plc, and the Indian School of Business.
In my view, the concept is excellent, and the one that our business eco-system really needs. This initiative not only attempts to fill the leadership gap, but also provides a strong platform where aspiring individuals can test their competencies benchmarked against leadership metrics that have been developed based on learnings and experiences of corporate leaders from across the world.
So, what are you waiting for? You can register through their website, via their email address or simply send your email id to 58888.
It is an opportunity to shine, to be the best version of yourself and to accelerate your career. Don’t miss it!

Very very good exercise for leaders and proved leaders are not born always, they will themself made with lot of homework and prepared to become achievement leaders in this era.
The questions and answers is set for this exercise are very informative, Praciticallity and more closely inter-related. Most of the areas are very difficult to answers, but Good realted choices are done in orgainsed manner. Sure it will help young leaders like us to understand and adapt corporate thinking.
its giving me a message as “server not found” when i type in the url…
A wonderful concept. A great opputunity in terms on learning and growth for youngs guns in corporate world. Might act as a launching pad for youngsters.

A great concept and effort by ET. BTW, any idea by when can we expect the results of first phase.
Deepti, since the last day of nomination/first phase is 14-May-2011, it looks like further dates, results would be announced later. For now, you can see the program structure at: http://etyoungleaders.com/workwhat-weve-done/programme-structure
I hope this helps.
Hi Tanmay and all.
The test here is gud, and I hope as ISB is involved, so the end result would also be good.
By the way, when can we expect the results, as I am a little worried as the last day to complete the task is mentioned at SHL website as 29th March 2012.
All the best guys n gals.

Needless to mention this as a great Initiative by ET, Its superb. through the site its quite clear about the structure of tests.
The 1st phase test questions were really generous. Thanks to SHL & ISB.
Tanmay, Thanks to you as well for responding all of the above queries. what i understand from the site its appreciable effort. some points need to be clarified viz the time frame and deadlines, structure of the course.

Hi Tanmay, got into R3 now have fingers crossed really as it gets closer to the finish. Only goal from here to get time with the CEO’s all great people in the panel and speaking to them personally is the real goal now……share some good things to keep in mind for group round on ground testing , sounds good actually 🙂
Jai, Many congratulations! I am so glad you made it to the third round.
I wish you all the very best for the coming rounds!
Cheers!
Tanmay
and yeah this is my first and last chance as I am at the border of qualifying criteria….
All the best!
Dear Tanmay,
Will the top-50 winners of ETYL also have any chances of getting job offers by companies…since the process is very stringent; beyond doubt it is going to be the best talent pool for any corporate to choose from.
Hi Basant, I am not sure about the job offers, but I am sure that people who go through this process will be valued. It is a good credential to add to your resume anyway. Secondly, platforms like these also help us in knowing ourselves, our strengths better. If not anything else, we at least evolve during the process. That’s important.
Hi Tanmay,
Continuing on Basant’s line..I want to ask is there any chance that at least the 8 CEOs who would interview us in the final round would be willing to induct us in their company?…
I do agree with you on the value addition thing through such contest
Hi Tanmay,
I made it to last 61 and now am feeling the heat slightly.May be in need of some help from people like you on just being mentally prepared for the last one.
Irrespective of making it to final list, this opportunity to speak with a CEO and that too one from the elite panel formed bt ET is a sort of life time (though I feel and wish that this would just bethe begining and will have many more such oopty’s) and I wat to make most of it.Anything from your exp can help even if that a very generic advice would really help
Jai, congratulations for making it to final 61. It is difficult to articulate everything I want to share here in the comment, and calls for a blog post.
In a nutshell, be confident, be yourself and do not let lose in expressing yourself completely.
Best of Luck!
Results were to come this weekend, but they have not. Having fingers crossed. By thevery your posts were very good on Vision and Communication.
Jai Shankar,
Congratulations for making it to runner’s up list, I saw your name on the ETYL website. All the best for the way forward.
Best,
Tanmay
Thanks Tanmay,
I would shre my experiences and feedback to you, there are valuble lessons learnt. I have also given myfeedbacl to Times even before results were out and I am glad they asked for one.
Thanks for the wishes.
Thanks Jai Shankar. I look forward to your lessons.
Best,
Tanmay
