The ISB has all the ingredients for a rich and vibrant research environment. It is among the few schools in the world that undertakes research with a focus on emerging and transition economies, striving to create synergies between India, Asia, and the global business environment.

The Centres of Excellence provide a forum where knowledge and understanding of business can be exchanged between the academic and the corporate worlds. This constant exchange provides a theoretical, empirical, and practical foundation for an informed study of emerging markets. The knowledge generated will provide insights vital to businesses with global ambitions. The Centres set up at the ISB have already demonstrated their potential to generate valuable scholarship.

The School plans to establish a Centre of Excellence in the area of Strategic Marketing in the near future.
