This is a terrific moment to celebrate our journey of building a world-class institution.
Rajat Gupta
Chairman, ISB
Senior Partner Emeritus, McKinsey & Company, Inc


In a relatively short span of seven years, the ISB has successfully created a green-field, independent, privately-funded institution of higher education that is global in both scale and quality, and accessible to all who deserve it, regardless of their socio-economic background. We started with two complementary goals in mind: to groom leaders for India and the world, and to provide a platform for global thought leadership out of India.
