About CII-SNCEL

The CII Suresh Neotia Centre of Excellence for Leadership (CII-SNCEL) is part of CII’s integrated agenda of building competitiveness through Centres of Excellence.

The Centre aims to become a key facilitator of leadership development not only amongst businesses and industry but also amongst the general ecosystem through a diverse and comprehensive range of services.

Established in 2009 at Kolkata, the Centre was initiated with the purpose of serving as a key facilitator of leadership development across various segments of business and sociocultural demographics through a range of interventions especially focusing on “people” and “process” transformations.
