Why ISB: Arnab’s Perspective (Part I)

It seems like only yesterday when I was desperately rushing to finish my ISB application, appearing nervously in front of the admissions committee for that 25 minutes interview, and holding the letter which starts with the words, “Congratulations”. So I thought to myself, why not reflect upon some of the reasons that motivated me to [...]

Marriages are made in heaven…

… but they are celebrated with style at ISB!! ISB promotes re-marriages. Especially when the friends missed out on the first one due to a cramped schedule. Nikhil, a batchmate, got married to Priyanka on 27th of November, but only a handful of us could attend the wedding due to classes. We missed out but [...]

Three parts to Life @ ISB
