July 07, 2026
The Indian School of Business (ISB) and NALSAR University of Law have entered into a strategic partnership to strengthen doctoral education, advance interdisciplinary research, and create new opportunities for faculty and scholarly collaboration.
The partnership was formalised on July 7, 2026 through the signing of an Academic Collaboration Agreement (ACA) by Professor Madan Pillutla, Dean, ISB, and Professor Srikrishna Deva Rao, Vice-Chancellor, NALSAR University of Law.
As part of the collaboration, ISB's Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) and NALSAR's PhD programme in Management will work closely to strengthen doctoral education through joint academic oversight, research supervision, training, and scholarly exchange.
The ACA also lays the foundation for broader collaboration between the two institutions, including joint research initiatives, faculty engagement in research and teaching, and the exploration of shared academic resources. Together, ISB and NALSAR aim to build an ecosystem that fosters interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersection of business, law, governance, and public policy.
