Every visit leaves a mark, not just in memory, but in nature. 🌱

Our tradition of planting a sapling is a tribute to our guests and our commitment to sustainability.

ISB has a tradition to get our distinguished guests, who visit our campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali, to plant a sapling.

As the world commemorates #WorldEnvironmentDay, we are sharing glimpses of tree plantation ceremonies.

Real change happens when institutions come together with purpose, and people step forward with passion. The Punjab Good Governance Fellowship Programme is a testament to it.

ISB is the knowledge partner with the Government of Punjab for this flagship initiative that aims to empower young professionals to work at the heart of governance, bringing data-driven thinking, fresh energy, and innovative solutions to public service.

Today is the last day to apply.

We invite young, driven individuals to be a part of this transformative journey, where policy meets action, and leadership is forged in the field.

When 33 Deputy Secretary rank officers from the @LokSabhaSectt walked into ISB, they brought with them a world of experience and insights from the heart of Indian democracy.

During the visit facilitated by @drmcrhrdit as part of their training, we had the opportunity to share about ISB, its programmes, research, and capacity building initiatives. Conversations flowed around how academia can play a deeper role in supporting the legislative and governance ecosystem.

Such interactions are a reminder of how academia and governance can come together to create meaningful impact.

[Indian School of Business (ISB) @ISBedu]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor M Rammohan Rao, former Dean of ISB (2004–2009), who departed earlier today.

Professor Rao was a leader who helped establish ISB as a world-class institution. Under his guidance, the School made strides, especially in building a research foundation. He believed that a business school must be a hub for knowledge creation, not just dissemination. This belief continues to guide ISB's academic mission.

His distinguished career included serving as Director of IIM Bangalore, tenured Professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and holding numerous leadership roles, including President of the Association of Indian Management Schools. Among his many honours, he received the prestigious Fulkerson Prize in 2000. He was also the first Dean of an Indian business school appointed to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).

A respected scholar in operations research and management science, Professor Rao exemplified the highest standards of academic leadership and institutional governance. His influence extended beyond ISB, contributing significantly to the broader landscape of management education in India.

Those who worked with Professor Rao remember his academic values and his commitment to nurturing talent. He continued to share his knowledge and guide students until the very end. His legacy lives on in the countless students, faculty, and institutions he helped shape throughout his career.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. The ISB community will forever remain grateful for his contributions.

We hosted 5 young IAS officers from the 2024 batch, Telangana Cadre, at ISB. Their visit was part of the District Training Programme facilitated by MCRHRDI.

We had a great conversation about ISB programmes, research, and the many ways we can engage with the government. Also shared how ISB supports capacity building for civil servants at various levels.

What happens when young minds lead the charge on climate action?

At the India-UK Climate Action Summit, students from ISB, Panjab University, IISER Mohali, and Plaksha University came together to share how they’re not waiting for change, they’re creating it.

From daily sustainable habits to community-led innovations, their message was clear: the climate conversation is not complete without youth at the table.

Moderated by Madhu Mishra, the discussion is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of small actions and big ideas.

What happens when curious minds step into the world of @ISBedu?

In April, students from three institutions walked through our campus gates, wide-eyed, eager, and full of questions. They sat in our classrooms, explored the lush greens and buzzing corridors, and got a real feel of life at ISB.

For many, it was their first time experiencing a campus like this. For us, it was a chance to spark ambition and fuel dreams.

This is what 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗜𝗦𝗕 is all about.
An initiative by the Office of External Relations, the programme is designed to inspire and engage young minds by giving them a firsthand experience of ISB’s world-class learning environment, cutting-edge facilities, and apprise them about its programmes, research and achievements.

Imagine a world where the farmer is empowered with knowledge, smart subsidies, supportive policies, and digital tools tailored to their land.

At the India-UK Climate Action Summit, experts came together to reimagine agriculture in the face of climate change. They unpacked how behaviour, finance, and innovation must come together to build a food-secure future.

A delegation of 11 Nagaland Civil Service Officers visited the Hyderabad campus recently, bringing with them a commitment to public service.

Team External Relations walked them through ISB’s journey, academic programmes, and faculty-led research.

What stood out most was the shared enthusiasm to explore synergies between the Government of Nagaland and ISB.

We look forward to deepening this engagement and co-creating impact.

Books stay with us — long after the last page. They shape our choices, shift our perspectives, and sometimes, change the course of our lives.

This #WorldBookDay, our team members reflect on the books that left a lasting mark — the ones we return to, recommend, and remember.

Hear their stories. Share yours.
