Special Interest Groups (SIGs) :
The SIG genesis:
ISB has come a long way since its establishment in 2001. Time, growing batch sizes, additional programs, and an expanding alumni base created challenges – how to keep our alumni who are spread across 40+ countries engaged while contributing to lifelong learning? This led to the genesis of the Special Interest Groups or SIGs organized by industry or common interest and designed to help alumni network and learn.
The groups closely mirror the alumni base’s composition, popular interests, and themes with potential.
Each SIG has a group of ISB Alumni Advisors & Moderators who help set up their SIG’s vision, facilitate the association with industry and ISB’s Research Centres, Institutes, Labs, and faculty. Along with Industry Champions, they help organize Knowledge Sessions, Networking Events, and where relevant facilitate implementation of live projects.
