One of my colleagues is a graduate of the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad and took me for a tour of campus while I was in town. We entered a sleek white marble courtyard with a few students milling about.
The tiered auditoriums often host professors from internationally renowned business schools like Wharton, Kellogg, and the like.
Founded in 2001, ISB Hyderabad has rapidly climbed up the business school ranks and won numerous international awards.
A spiral staircase rises through the center of the library.
An impressive glass dome adds to the dramatic scene.
Interesting modern sculptures...
...and signboards with inspirational quotes line the central corridor: "Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people" - Mother Terasa [sic].
The campus is situated in the center of large forested plot. Four living areas radiate outwards from the center classrooms and meeting spaces.
Each living area is marked by a tall tower.
We took a brief walk around campus, admiring the clean white structures lit from within.We finished our visit by passing through the complex that houses the executive lounge.
I really appreciated the opportunity to visit the ISB. It's a closed campus so I was fortunate to have a connection to show me around.
