Updated on: Friday, August 13, 2010

The Honourable Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal today laid the foundation stone for the new campus of the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Mohali, Punjab, marking the start of construction of the school’s first campus outside Hyderabad. The move underscores the ISB’s belief in achieving scale to effect a greater impact on business and society.

The ISB campus at Mohali will house four institutes focusing on areas critical to India’s development, viz. Max India Institute of Healthcare Management, Bharti Institute of Public Policy, BML Munjal Hero Honda Institute of Manufacturing Excellence and Innovation, and Punj Lloyd Institute of Physical Infrastructure Management. These institutes are being set up with generous contributions from the founding supporters of the ISB campus at Mohali to further research and education in the respective areas. In addition to its founding academic associations with the Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School and London Business School, the ISB has established an academic association with MIT Sloan school of Management to support the institutes in Manufacturing Excellence and Physical Infrastructure Management. While the Wharton association is being extended for the institute in Healthcare Management, the academic association for the institute in Public Policy is under finalisation.

Spread across 70 acres, the ISB campus at Mohali will be equipped with state-of-the-art learning facilities – lecture theatres, a 500-seater auditorium, student and faculty housing, and a host of recreational facilities. The construction of the campus is expected to be completed by March 2012, and the first academic session for the Postgraduate Programme in Management is scheduled to commence in April 2012, with an initial intake of 210 students. The programme will offer students the option of specialising in the new streams that are slated for launch, in addition to the existing streams. The campus at Mohali will also conduct several short duration executive education programmes in various disciplines.
