Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 6: TalentSprint, a leading global education company powered by AI, has teamed up with IIM Calcutta, India's 1st IIM and a premier management institute, to offer advanced executive education programs tailored for working professionals. The partnership blends IIM Calcutta's academic leadership with TalentSprint's vast outreach and expertise in online program delivery, designed to empower professionals with the skills needed to thrive in today's environmentally responsible businesses. The launch of an Executive Program in Corporate Sustainability marks a decisive step forward in addressing the evolving needs of the industry.
Sustainability is no longer a choice or a reporting requirement but a strategic action for companies across their business value chain. The International Labor Organization predicts that by 2030, the green economy will generate approximately 100 million new jobs globally. In India alone, over 30 million sustainability-related jobs are expected in the next 25 years.
As businesses align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, SEBI now mandates listed companies to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities through the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). This shift places a growing responsibility on companies to find professionals capable of setting and executing effective sustainability agendas. Corporate honchos are increasingly being pushed to tick the boxes on ecology protection as a metrics of evaluating their performances.
In light of this ongoing transformative shift, IIM Calcutta, in collaboration with TalentSprint, has launched a high-impact Executive Program in Corporate Sustainability (EPCS). This program is designed to equip participants with the skills to create and implement actionable sustainability strategies, transforming ESG from a compliance obligation into a strategy for profitability.

Prof. Runa Sarkar, one of the Program Directors, and Professor at IIM Calcutta highlights, "Our curriculum is backed by rigorous research and tailored for professionals with corporate experience. It's not just aligned with the SDGs; it's designed to integrate cutting-edge business simulations that translate sustainability principles into actionable strategies. The live sessions are planned with interactive discussions, experiential learning and case study discussions to enable real world impact."
Dr. Santanu Paul, Founding CEO & MD of TalentSprint, adds, "Sustainability is no longer just a regulatory mandate; it's now recognized as a profit center and a critical business imperative. Thus, the need for skilled professionals in this area has never been so high. This program, built on industry-trusted pedagogy, empowers learners with the expertise to lead impactful and responsible sustainability initiatives."
Ideal for experienced professionals, learners who enrol in this program understand the parameters to drive sustainable growth, enhance organizational reputation, and stay ahead of sustainability trends and regulations, simultaneously adding to the bottomline.The program is a 12-month live learning experience which brings to light critical knowledge on ethical and strategic sustainability challenges, green finance and sustainable design thinking. It combines the academic depth of IIM Calcutta with the online delivery expertise and outreach experience of TalentSprint.
This thoughtfully crafted program will help participants to navigate strategic sustainability challenges while aligning with applicable sustainability practices and methods, in line with the latest trends and benchmarks. For more information about the program, visit website
