About ISB
The Indian School of Business (ISB) was established in 2001 in response to the growing demand for a
premier business school in Asia. It was conceived through the collaborative efforts of globally
renowned business leaders, entrepreneurs, and academicians who identified the critical need for
leadership in emerging economies. Recognizing the importance of cultivating young leaders with a
global perspective, ISB was established as a not-for-profit, independent, research-driven business
school that has two state-of-the-art campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali, dedicated to advancing
business education and research.
ISB offers a diverse array of programs tailored to individuals with varying levels of experience and
career backgrounds. Its flagship offering, the one-year Post Graduate Programme (PGP) for young
executives, is equivalent to the two-year MBA program at leading Indian business schools. For
seasoned professionals, ISB provides part-time programs, advanced courses focused on specific
functions, and a program dedicated to family businesses. Additionally, ISB's doctoral-equivalent
Fellow Programme in Management (FPM), Executive Education, and ISB Online platforms cater to
professionals at all career stages. Since 2008, ISB has consistently ranked among the top business
schools globally in the Financial Times Global MBA rankings.
ISB's distinctive faculty model blends accomplished resident and visiting faculty from top universities
in the USA, Europe, Singapore, and India, all with publications in leading academic journals. Our visiting
faculty includes members from founding partner schools-The Wharton School, Kellogg School of
Management, and London Business School-as well as The Fletcher School and other prestigious
institutions. Senior faculty from these partners serve as Area Leaders, shaping ISB's academic
programs and research in collaboration with resident faculty. ISB fosters a vibrant research
environment and supports numerous visiting scholars annually. Through the Centre for Learning and
Teaching Excellence, ISB offers robust support for teaching and pedagogical innovations, assisting
both new and experienced faculty to become effective teachers as well as explore new technologies
and methodologies. The Strategy department at ISB consists of six tenured and tenure-track faculty
members and one teaching-track faculty member. (see https://www.isb.edu/en/research-thoughtleadership/faculty/faculty-directory.html)
