About the 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- visualized the leadership needs of
emerging Asian economies. The ISB is committed to its role in creating
such leaders through its innovative programmes, outstanding faculty
and thought leadership. The ISB has formed academic alliances with the
Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, the Wharton
School at the University of Pennsylvania, and the London Business
School (LBS), bringing the best of global management practices and
thinking into our curriculum. We offer a one year Post Graduate
Programme in Management. The class size is 440 this year and the

year 2001 and last year was ranked FT - 20
