The Indian School of Business (ISB), is a not for profit, independent, research-driven, global business school with two campuses located in Hyderabad and Mohali, India. A collaborative effort of eminent business leaders, entrepreneurs, and academicians from around the world laid the foundation for the School. The School has been offering different full and part time programmes since launching its one year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) in 2001.

Some of the senior faculty members from the associate schools, designated as Area Leaders, play a key role in the academic programmes and research at ISB. Along with the resident faculty, they actively engage in formulating the curriculum, faculty recruitment, mentoring junior faculty, and providing direction to research in the relevant subject areas. The School also provides a vibrant research environment that attracts support and benefits from the Visiting Scholars it hosts every year.

Encouraged by the impact of its work, Dr. Schmidheiny supported upgradation of the Chair to a full-fledged Centre in 2015.

The team at the Centre works with the faculty in creating and disseminating world-class knowledge and providing reliable and attractive platforms for sharing and learning.
