Hyderabad-based Indian School of Business has been a one-year wonder. In less than seven years since starting out in 2001, ISB has become one of the best B-schools not just in India but on the world stage as well. With its swank campus, an extremely popular one-year residential programme taught by an international faculty, excellent career progression for mid-level executives, chance to build connections with a powerful alumni network, jaw-dropping starting salaries of its graduates and a high 20th ranking in the prestigious Financial Times list of Top 100 Global B-schools to boot, the institute is headed in only one direction: up.
