Suman Sasmal, Resident Mentor, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

"As one of the contributors of the Purpose Launchpad methodology, I didn’t want to have just a high-level understanding of it. So I applied to the program, I was lucky enough to be selected for the first cohort and in my class we had people from the United States, Canada, Brazil, Italy, India, South Africa, Spain and Vietnam. The program itself was very well structured with theory, case studies and also a real project to mentor receiving direct feedback from Francisco about everything we did.

The program exceeded my expectations."
