ISB Celebrates its Eighth Anniversary |
December 2, 2009: The Indian School of Business (ISB) celebrated the eighth anniversary of its formal inauguration on December 2, 2009. To commemorate the occasion, the national flag and ISB flag were hoisted by senior staff, faculty and the current Graduate Student Board president. 
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 value proposition. This vision was realised on December 2, 2001 when the ISB was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Following the flag hoisting, Dean Ajit Rangnekar and employees who completed five years at the school cut a cake to commemorate the occasion. “This is a very symbolic cake because at one level, it signifies our completing eight years and on another level, it indicates that we are infinite in our expectation,” Dean Rangnekar said. |
