Business and Arts Programme  
This initiative is an extension of the curriculum that encourages you to think creatively. For a week each year the ISB holds a series of lectures, presentations, and workshops by well-known artists. You get the chance to explore the mind of an artiste through his or her art – photography, paintings, or dance – because the artistes present and explain their work. By balancing academic subjects with an appreciation and understanding of arts and culture, you learn to tap your imagination.

Besides opening up a whole new thought process, the interactions stimulate your aesthetic sensibilities and innovation. Among the artists who participated in this programme were Baiju Parthan, Mahendar Singh, Jittish Kallat, Harsh Goenka, Nagesh Kukunoor, Ashok Salian, Pheroza Godrej, Shekhar Kapoor, Atul Kasbekar, and Padmasri Dr Sobha Naidu.

Artist-in-Residence

A reputed artist is invited to live on the ISB campus from time to time. The artist interacts with the ISB community while pursuing his / her creative activities. Renowned painter Laxma Goud, well known sculptor Karl Antao, and famous painters Paresh Maity, Sanjay Bhattacharya, and Laila Khan Rajpal have been our guests so far in this programme. They helped students discover how artistic expression can give form to unstructured thought. Their work epitomised elegant solutions to issues within the limitations of a medium, highlighting the power of creative thought.
"The Business and Arts Programme is unique because it gives you an opportunity to interact with an artist for an extended period of time, at a very close range. This gives you a perspective into the way he thinks, his beliefs, and ideologies in a way which no formal interaction can match."
