From Learning to Leading: Samsung’s Young Leaders Step Up with YLDP 2025

Energy, ambition, and a shared spirit of innovation filled the auditorium at Samsung’s head office in Gurugram, as the company’s newest Management Trainees came together for the Young Leadership Development Program (YLDP) 2025 — a two-day learning journey designed to shape the leaders of tomorrow.

With the theme “From Learning to Leading: Build Your Self-Leadership,” the program focused on empowering young talent to take ownership of their growth, foster peer learning, and strengthen their Samsung identity.

Over two days of immersive sessions — from self-reflection workshops and group learning circles to field-readiness sessions and a leadership promise ceremony — the trainees explored what it truly means to lead with purpose and passion.

“At Samsung, we believe leadership starts from within,” said Rishabh Nagpal, Head of People Team, Samsung Southwest Asia. “YLDP is not just a training program — it’s a launchpad for our young talent to discover their potential, collaborate fearlessly, and drive innovation that shapes the future.”

The program concluded with an inspiring Graduation Ceremony, where the trainees took center stage, celebrating not only their learning but also their journey of transformation — from learners to leaders, ready to make their mark across Samsung’s business and innovation ecosystem.

As they step into their roles, these young leaders carry forward Samsung’s vision of Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People — driving growth, innovation, and meaningful change from the ground up.
