ISB: Indian School of Business

The Indian School of Business evolved from the need for a world class business school in
Asia. Our founders- some of the best minds from the corporate and academic worlds-
visualised the leadership needs of emerging Asian economies. They recognised that the
rapidly changing business landscape would require young leaders with an understanding
of evolving economies, but also with a global perspective. The ISB is committed to its
role in creating such leaders through its innovative programmes, outstanding faculty and
thought leadership.

Our Vision
Our vision is to become an internationally top-ranked, research-driven, independent
management institution that grooms future leaders for India and the world. Funded
entirely by private corporations, foundations and individuals from around the world, who
believe in its vision, the ISB was conceived as a not for profit organisation.

With increased globalisation, the ISB sees three important trends which will influence its
direction for research and education in the coming years:

· Requirement for global competencies in this part of the world

· Globalisation of Indian corporations
· Increasing interest in management best practices in emerging markets, including
India

With a diverse mix of students from different industries, experiential and holistic
learning, international faculty and students, and strong corporate involvement, life at the
ISB is a unique experience for students, executives, faculty, staff and their families. And
life after the ISB is never the same, a fact our alumni will vouch for.
