The Indian School of Business evolved from a need for a globally top-ranked and distinctive business school in the Asian region dedicated to providing the best management education. 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's vision is grounded in the belief that leadership skills can be learned and that successful leaders must take charge of their own development and growth to achieve their true potential. ISB believes that all models of leadership should be grounded in a strong foundation of core values. Up to two students from each institution spend the fall semester/term of their second year at the other institution as visiting students.
