ISB
ISB is a leading business school located in the city of
Hyderabad in south India. The School is the dream of some of
the best minds from the corporate and academic world. Their
aspiration in creating the ISB is to establish an
internationally top-ranked, research-driven, independent
management institution that grooms future leaders for India
and the world. The ISB is born of a partnership that is
unheard of in the launch of any institution ever. The
founders are eminent business leaders, entrepreneurs and
academicians from around the world. We have formed academic
associations with three of the worlds leading business
schools - Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School,
and London Business School. The Governing Board of the
school consists of heads of Fortune 500 companies, extremely
successful entrepreneurs and leading academicians.
The ISB campus lies on a beautiful virgin site with large
boulders, open fields and clusters of large trees. The
architects have tried to merge ISB facilities with the
existing rock formations and the tree canopies. The greenery
on the campus not only helps the campus community unwind,
but also fights pollution and attracts birds to colonize.
Ecological balance is maintained on the campus by a large
artificial lake which collects rainwater from the roadways,
parking lots and rooftops. ISB has a world class campus
comprising academic centers, housing, dining and
entertainment facilities. The campus is fully wired and
equipped with state of the art technology.
Hyderabad
Hyderabad is the capital of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and the
fifth largest city of India. While AP is known as the most
IT savvy state in India, Hyderabad is emerging as a major
center for IT exports. It’s share in Indian IT exports is
about 12%. The city is galloping towards its dream of
becoming the Silicon Valley of India. Today, it is home to
many international companies and global IT majors including
Microsoft, CA, Oracle, IBM, Dell, Infosys, Wipro, TCS,
Satyam and others. Apart from IT, Hyderabad is also emerging
as a leader in the pharma, insurance and tourism sectors. In
addition, it also houses the state ministries, defense
undertakings and research and development organizations.
The city has become a constant fixture of the itinerary of
global leaders and business delegates, and has played host
to distinguished personalities such as George W Bush, Bill
Gates, Bill Clinton, and Tony Blair.
The city's cosmopolitan way of life that envelops in its
wake, the ancient and the contemporary, upcoming and
thriving discothèques, pubs, theme villages, snow park and
Go-Karting is sure to leave everyone charmed.
Hyderabad has an international airport with direct flights
