Entrepreneurs and business leaders across South Asia have only 3 days left to apply for the prestigious Seed Transformation Program offered by Stanford Graduate School of Business through the Stanford Seed initiative. Applications for the 2026 cohort will officially close on 1 June 2026, marking the final opportunity for growth-stage companies to join one of the world’s most respected executive leadership programs designed specifically for emerging markets.



The 10-month Seed Transformation Program is aimed at founders, CEOs, and senior leaders of established businesses with annual revenues between USD 300,000 and USD 15 million. The program enables entrepreneurs to continue operating their companies while gaining access to Stanford-developed business frameworks, leadership training, and practical tools that can be immediately applied to real-world operational challenges.



Delivered through a combination of online learning, practical workshops, peer collaboration, and in-person sessions, the curriculum focuses on strategic clarity, financial discipline, execution excellence, and leadership development. Participants also attend two intensive in-person learning weeks in Chennai, where they engage directly with Stanford Graduate School of Business faculty, experienced facilitators, and fellow entrepreneurs from across the region.



Since its launch, Stanford Seed has partnered with more than 1,500 entrepreneurs across Africa, South Asia, and Indonesia. Alumni of the program have collectively secured over USD 2 billion in capital and generated an additional USD 1.7 billion in revenue for their local economies after completing the program. Participant outcomes also reveal that 78% of companies reported increased revenue after the Seed program, while 61% secured capital following participation.



“South Asia is home to some of the world’s most dynamic and ambitious entrepreneurs. Through the Seed Transformation Program, we aim to equip founders and business leaders with the leadership mindset, strategic capabilities, and global network needed to scale sustainably and create meaningful impact. With the application deadline approaching quickly, we encourage eligible companies to seize this opportunity and apply before 1 June 2026,” said Harish Arnezath, Regional Director for South Asia at Stanford Seed



Graduates receive a certificate from Stanford Graduate School of Business and gain lifelong access to the global Seed Transformation Network. Eligible entrepreneurs are encouraged to submit applications before the final deadline.



With the application deadline set for 1 June 2026, entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply soon to secure their place in the upcoming cohort.
