History

The Indian School of Business (ISB) was started in 1996 by a group of businessmen and academics. Co-founders Rajat Gupta and Anil Kumar, senior executives of McKinsey & Company, directed teams of McKinsey consultants to start the school. Gupta recruited U.S. business leaders while Kumar recruited Indian leaders for its executive board. Formal partnerships were established with international business schools Wharton and Kellogg.[8] Pramath Sinha, then a junior partner at McKinsey in India, was persuaded to take a leave of absence to be the school's first dean. Rajat Gupta became the school's first chairman and was succeeded by Adi Godrej in 2011. The Government of Andhra Pradesh was pivotal in sanctioning ISB's Hyderabad campus in September 1998. The foundation stone for the campus was laid in 1999 and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001.[9] The Government of Punjab sanctioned the Mohali Campus in 2010; its foundation stone was laid in September 2010 by Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal,[10] and was inaugurated in December 2012 by the then Union Minister of Finance, P. Chidambaram.[11][12]

Hyderabad campus

Designed by Vikram Lall and established in 2001, the Hyderabad campus is spread across 260 acres (110 ha).[13] It includes the academic centre, a recreation centre, and four student villages each accommodating 130 to 210 students.[14]

The ISB Hyderabad campus is certified by Indian green building council.[15]

Mohali campus

The Mohali campus began operations on 14 April 2012, and offers ISB's Post-Graduate Programme (PGP) and additional short-term executive education programs. The campus was designed by Perkins Eastman Architects led by Aaron Schwarz. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled. The academic block houses lecture theatres, faculty offices and lounge, the learning resource centre (LRC), and an atrium which can serve as a 500-seat auditorium. The campus also hosts four other research institutes:[16]

  • Max Institute of Healthcare Management

Academics

Accreditation

ISB is accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB.[17][18] ISB became the 100th Triple Accredited institution in the world upon achieving AMBA accreditation on 12 May 2020.[5]

ISB is not accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)[19] and has not applied for such accreditation, as it offers a certificate program and not a degree or a diploma.[20] The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has ruled that for the purposes of US Visa and Green Cards, the post-graduate PGP certificate awarded by ISB is not equivalent to a Master of Business Administration degree, unlike similarly named certificates awarded by the Indian Institutes of Management.[21]
