ISB is a not-for-profit, independent, research-driven, global business school with two campuses located in Hyderabad & Mohali, India. A collaborative effort of eminent business leaders, entrepreneurs, and academicians from around the world laid the foundation for the School. In the year 2001, ISB launched its first one year Post Graduate Program in Management (PGP), equivalent to the 2 year MBA courses offered by premier business schools in India. This year, the 15th Batch has commenced from April 2015.  Indian School of Business is one of the youngest schools to have consistently been ranked among the top business schools globally by the Financial Times Global MBA rankings since 2008.

The Indian School of Business, has a unique portfolio faculty model which accommodates a mix of accomplished resident faculty who have graduated from the best universities, primarily in the USA, Europe, Singapore and India and have published in leading academic journals in their respective fields and visiting faculty from our associate schools, namely the Wharton School, the Kellogg School of Management, and the London Business School, as well as other leading business schools. The senior faculty members from our associate schools are designated as Area Leaders. They play a key role in the academic programs and research at ISB. In consultation with the resident faculty, they actively engage in formulating the curriculum, attracting the best faculty to the School, mentoring junior faculty, and providing direction to research in the relevant subject areas. The School also provides a vibrant research environment that attracts, supports and benefits from the Visiting scholars it hosts every year.
