What is SOUL?
The School of Ultimate Leadership (SOUL) is a future leadership school in Gujarat committed to developing real leaders who will serve the public good. It aims to diversify India’s political leadership pool by providing formal training and opportunities to individuals who exhibit merit, dedication, and enthusiasm for public service, instead of political pedigree.
The SOUL Leadership Conclave aims at preparing next-gen leaders with insights, abilities, and know-how that would allow them to successfully confront the subtle leadership challenges faced by the modern world.
In inaugurating the SOUL Leadership Conclave, India takes its first stride in building new-gen leadership that stands for integrity, vision, and inclusiveness.
