Only one way to go from here!

If you haven’t heard it already, ISB has been ranked 12th by the Financial Times, London in its 2010 global MBA rankings!
It was only a year back that Debottam, from the Class of 2009, wrote about how proud he was at ISB being ranked 15th by Financial Times. The honor this time, is all mine. ISB [...]

Solstice Wrap Up – Day 1

Solstice 2009 was a blast here at ISB. While its been a while since we promised a proper update, we have all been busy (as usual) with classes and events. On top of it all, placement season is upon us, and placement talks are keeping us well and truly busy!
Anyway, back to the original topic. [...]

Halloween Party and a Lazy Weekend

After a long long time, I finally had a weekend when I didn’t have any assignments due immediately. This of course did not mean I wasn’t busy. I was still running around the whole weekend from one meeting to another for a couple of project reports we have to submit. However, since those aren’t due [...]

Bandhan @ ISB in pictures

A picture they say is worth a thousand words. At that rate, this definitely must be an epic!!

FT 15 – A Proud moment for ISB

Its official now…We were waiting with anticipation, fearing how the school would do in the Financial Times UK ranking of global B Schools. Last year’s rise to 20th was a mammoth achievement in itself and we all basked in its glory for a while. Jury was out on whether we would be able to maintain [...]

Times to come?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
 
Charles Dickens’ book The Tale of Two Cities couldn’t have had a stronger opening. As time at ISB wears on, I guess, this line has become symptomatic of the times our batch is going through.
 
Most of us came in expecting a rough [...]

HIFLIERS: My first take-off

My Tree

Just overlooking my bedroom window, in SVI is this beautiful neem tree which I call ‘My Tree’. This is the tree where people often schedule meetings. It also happens to be a catching-up spot or a place for partners to convene. It certainly augments my spirits every time I look at this beautiful tree and  relate to it, so I started calling [...]
