Indian School of Business
Know ISB
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. 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.

To create and disseminate research-based knowledge in management that influences scholarship, practice and policy.
To develop and enhance business leadership through innovative world class programmes in management.
To utilise the knowledge and expertise to engage with business, government and society, and to contribute to the welfare and development of the community at the local, national, and global levels.
To have distinguished faculty from India and abroad teach courses and provide a global perspective in Post Graduate and Executive Education programmes.
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.

History :
In 1996 an eminent group of business leaders and academicians recognised the need for a globally top-ranked and distinctive business school in Asia. They realised that the evolving business scenario would require young leaders trained in the nuances of transitional economies, yet exposed to a global perspective. The vision of the founders was to create a school that was different in many ways – with innovative academic programmes, and a world-class, yet affordable, overall value proposition. Through their collective networks, the founders inspired the very best in business and academia to see their vision and join their cause.
In less than a year, the Executive Board was formed to be followed shortly by the formation of the International Academic Council. Things moved fast from then on, with academic associations with two of the worlds leading business schools - Kellogg School of Management and the Wharton School. The London Business School followed closely before the launch of the first Post Graduate Programme. The Government of Andhra Pradesh welcomed the ISB into Hyderabad, laying the foundation stone for the campus in 1999. The Post Graduate Programme was launched in 2001 with the first batch of 128 students, followed shortly by the launch of the first Executive Education programmes.
In the course of the last few years, the School has set up Six Centres of Excellence, each with a particular focus on issues relevant to emerging markets. The Centres work closely with industry through conferences, seminars and workshops creating a vibrant research environment at the School.
Programmes :
- Full Time Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP)
- Post Graduate Programme in Management for Senior Executives (PGPMAX)
- Executive Education
- Fellow Programme in Management (FPM)
