At the heart of this explosive growth is a quiet revolution happening in the most critical corner of the enterprise: the office of the Chief Financial Officer. The days of the CFO as a mere number-cruncher and financial gatekeeper are over. Today, a new kind of leader is demanded—one who is part strategist, part technologist, and part visionary.
The data paints a stark picture of this paradigm shift. A groundbreaking Deloitte study reveals that a staggering 82% of Indian CFOs are now expected to spearhead their organization’s entire digital transformation and AI adoption strategy. The power dynamic is shifting so dramatically that a PwC CFO Study predicts 69% of finance leaders in India believe the CFO, not the CEO, will be the primary driver of business transformation by 2030. The modern CFO is no longer just reporting on the past; they are scripting the future with data, analytics, and strategic foresight.
This seismic change creates an urgent question for every senior finance professional in India: Are your skills future-proof? This is precisely the challenge that the Chief Financial Officer Program — India by Wharton Executive Education was designed to solve.
