THE ALTR SCHOOL

An alternative to school.

For leaders who already lead, and still face decisions no degree prepared them for. Mentors who have made those calls for decades equip you with what they built layer by layer, no degree could hand over.

When the decision is big, who do you call?

Experience gives you instinct. It does not give you a second opinion. ALTR is a place to find one.

Who this is not for.

  • Freshers
  • Early-stage professionals
  • Job seekers
  • Shortcut finders

Who it's for

Senior professionals and owners with 15+ years behind them.

  • Professionals

    The technical authority is yours. Now you are running a practice.

    That's me
  • Consultants and Advisors

    The technical authority is yours. Now you are building a practice.

    That's me
  • CXOs and Senior Leaders

    You have the seat. The remit just got wider.

    That's me
  • Founders and Entrepreneurs

    Growing fast, with a first leadership team and bigger capital choices.

    That's me
  • SME Business Owners

    Have already built on hard work, and want to take the next big leap.

    That's me

Three things we do differently

Shared by people who have done it.

Every mentor has 20+ years in one field and a proven record. Each leads the subject they know best.

Built for decisions, not credentials.

Each subject answers one question: what does an experienced person need to decide well here that nobody walked them through?

Built around your time.

A room for depth. A screen for the weeks in between. A shelf for the week a real decision lands.

The room

In person, for depth, case work and honest talk with peers. Some things are only said in a room.

The screen

Online sessions keep the thread going between meetings. Built for a full calendar.

The shelf

A portal with materials and a working reference, just not a library to browse.

What we offer.

Programs led by leaders who have done the work. Each one equips you with what they learned the hard way through experience on the field.

Why we took this journey.

"ALTR School began with a simple frustration. The most useful things a senior professional learns are rarely written down. They live with people who have been in the room. ALTR School brings those people and those rooms together, a few at a time, with leaders facing the same decisions now. We will keep the rooms small, the standard high and the claims honest."

Questions people ask quietly

Choose a topic, then open a question.

The school

An alternative to school for senior professionals and business owners. People with 20+ years in the field share what they built, equip you to decide better, and walk you through it, in a hybrid format.

Professionals, Doctors, Chartered Accountants, consultants, CXOs and senior leaders, founders and entrepreneurs, and SME owners, including those planning an IPO.

Mentors with 20+ years in a domain who have proved their credentials in the field. Each is named once they have said yes.

In-person sessions, online sessions, and a portal for materials and reference.

The first program

The Reputation of Leadership, led by Neeraj Jha. It begins on 15 November 2026 with the Foundation Webinar, followed by the masterclass on 29 November 2026 in Mumbai.

The masterclass is in person in Mumbai.

The webinar is a synopsis and foundation for the masterclass, The Reputation of Leadership. It runs three hours online and is paid, at ₹4,001.

The masterclass is ₹25,000 per participant. Seats are limited to thirty.

Good to know

It is not a degree. The focus is decision-making, not credentials. You earn a certificate after you complete the online materials that follow the masterclass.

It is led by mentors and focused on decisions, with a selective senior group and a hybrid model. It is not a long academic program or a mass catalogue.
