Cultivating Leadership Partners with The Core Questin to Enter Indian Market

Cultivating Leadership, a global leader in leadership development, is set to enter India through a joint venture with The Core Questin, a consulting firm based in Delhi. The partnership combines the expertise of Cultivating Leadership in adult development and complexity with The Core Questin’s deep understanding of the Indian market.

Since 2020, The Core Questin has been helping both Indian and global organizations navigate leadership challenges in a rapidly changing world. Cultivating Leadership, a certified B Corporation, is known for its innovative approaches to leadership and its extensive global network of coaches, advisors, and facilitators. This collaboration aims to bring cutting-edge leadership tools and frameworks to Indian organizations, with a special focus on the country’s unique market dynamics.

Key highlights of the venture include the establishment of a new company under the name Cultivating Leadership in India, with Keith Johnston from Cultivating Leadership and Shweta Anand Arora from The Core Questin serving as joint Directors. The partnership will leverage Cultivating Leadership’s proven tools, grounded in rigorous theory, and tested with global organizations, while tapping into the expertise of over 90 coaches from around the world.

India, with its diverse and complex market, presents both unique challenges and opportunities for business leaders. The collaboration between The Core Questin and Cultivating Leadership is designed to address these challenges by combining global expertise with a local understanding of leadership needs. This will enable Indian leaders to adapt to a fast-changing landscape, including disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions.

Shweta Anand Arora, CEO of The Core Questin, shared her excitement about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to bring the groundbreaking work of Cultivating Leadership to India. This partnership offers leaders the tools they need to manage the complexities of today’s world—equipping them to thrive in an environment of uncertainty and unpredictability."

Jennifer Garvey Berger, Co-Founder and CEO of Cultivating Leadership, emphasized India’s importance in global business strategy: "India is a key frontier for growth. By partnering with The Core Questin, we’re looking forward to creating leadership experiences tailored to the unique complexities of the Indian market."

As the joint venture prepares for its launch, Keith Johnston will travel to India in late November for strategic meetings. Jennifer Garvey Berger and other team members will join the venture in early 2025, with plans for a roadshow to connect with clients and partners across India.

This collaboration represents a significant step forward in leadership development, offering Indian businesses the opportunity to reimagine their leadership strategies and build the resilience necessary to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
