New Delhi, Feb 25: SOIL Institute of Management, one of Delhi NCR’s leading business schools, has launched The Future of Capitalism (FoC), a pioneering global learning program designed to explore how business leadership must evolve in response to rapidly shifting economic, social, and environmental realities.
The program is offered by SOIL in partnership with Shizenkan University, Japan, and is part of a core group of institutions shaping the initiative alongside IESE Business School and Fundação Getulio Vargas. Originally initiated by IESE Business School and Shizenkan University, the FoC program has evolved into a global learning platform, bringing together participants from over 20 business schools across five continents to engage in critical conversations on leadership, purpose, and the role of business in society.
Anil Sachdev, Founder of SOIL Institute of Management, said,
“The primary aim of this program is to encourage participants to critically examine the roles and responsibilities of business enterprises and their leaders. Through discussions on ESG, impact investing, and the redefinition of corporate value creation, the program fosters deeper reflection on responsible leadership within capitalism.”

The FoC program is delivered through a series of interactive and live online sessions, designed to foster dialogue across cultures, geographies, and professional contexts.
