Chairman’s VisionMr. B.M.L. Jain - the Chairman of the Indus Business Academy, is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology - Kanpur and an entrepreneur with keen interest in Management theory and practice. For his contribution to the economic progress of the nation, he has been awarded the prestigious ‘Udyog Patra’ by Minister of Human Resources Development, Govt. of India. Mr. Jain is also the recipient of a ‘Letter of Appreciation’ from Bharatiya Ekta Parishad for his efforts towards National Integration. Group’s Engg Unit was selected for World Quality Commitment International Star Award for the year 2007 by B.I.D. Spain for Corporate achievements, leadership, quality, innovation, excellence, technology & customer service. With an insider’s view of management in India, his experiences on the subject are much sought after. Recently he has been awarded ‘Corporate Philanthropist of the year’ award by Association of Indian Management Scholars (AIMS) International held at IIM Bangalore in December 2009.

Dear Prospective Student, With the rapidly changing Technology, for the past couple of years, the world is in the grip of severe skills deficit. There is no dearth of talent. The challenge is of getting talent that meets the need of corporate world. In other words, the challenge is that of employability. U.S.A. the world’s largest economy is to-day considering proposals to overhaul education system due to rising skills gap. India, a relatively smaller economy with much bigger workforce faces a deeper crisis, perhaps far deeper than any other nation in the world. Its demographic

trends (300 million new workers by 2025), its archaic educational system (barely 9-10% of graduates are employable), its economic structure-agriculture contributes 18% to GDP & employs 56% work force-makes the crisis painful & difficult. We have a deskilling economy without a re-skilling work force. A degree-driven Indian Society treats education as a proxy for skill levels. This creates strong demand-supply gap.

In spite of current Global Melt down, India will aspire for a super growth strategy. Even 9 to 10% growth is not enough. We have to grow at double digit rates & India

has potential to grow on the strength of its internal consumption . The inflation negates the growth. To meet this challenge, skills will become a constraint without proper higher education. In backdrop of this, over 1.3 lacs people go abroad every year in search of opportunities. Also, there is an urgent need for upgradation of skills of rural educated youth. For all this, educational system is to be strengthened.

The Promoters of IBA having IIT, IIM & similar professional backgrounds visualized this a decade ago & to address the need, IBA was established nine years back with

We have a de-skilling economy without a re-skilling work force

the primary objective of providing World class management education in tune with the contemporary requirements. It launched its academic activities in July 2001 after creating World class infrastructure at its Bangalore Campus. Subsequently IBA established its 2nd campus with State-of-the-Art infrastructure at Greater Noida and this 2nd campus started its academic activities from July 2006.

At IBA, students are groomed not just as managers but as holistic individuals. This is done through pursuit of excellence in every area of grooming - academics, innovation team work, Customer delight, leadership, communication, Excellence in manufacturing & service sectors, analysis, entrepreneurship and personality development. The need to identify and nurture the aptitudes and inclinations of each and every student, to equip them to face the challenges of a technology driven managerial career are also seriously addressed. These apart, in moulding them as complete human beings, moral, ethical, cultural and social values are instilled along with inculcating traits of self discipline, honesty and integrity. This is done through continual interaction with Academicians, Corporates and integrating the world famous ‘Art of Living’ module with the academics. It ensures emergence of positively charged individuals ready to contribute to the growth of corporations and the welfare of the society. Besides this,

IBA is making sustained efforts to create knowledge, influence practice & integrate the same globally.

IBA’s promoters, the eminent Academic Advisory Council, dedicated and energetic Directors and young CEOs, Dean and Faculty are passionate about IBA’s development. The live industry interface, intellectual

capital resource are the cornerstones that are continuously strengthened in IBA’s move forward.

The unique IBA pedagogy backed up with meticulously laid State-of-the-Art infrastructure brings excellence in learning, training & in placements. IBA student is groomed to think out of the box & engulf articulation, innovation & team work. IBA’s strong linkages with the best in the corporate is reflected in its blend of core and visiting faculty enabling two way flow of knowledge, talent and resources. IBA is conscious about corporate social responsibility also. With active support of IBA Management, the faculty & students contribute to Rural Education. Health Awareness Programs thus infusing the CSR concept in the students.

The needs of identifying and nurturing the aptitudes and inclinations of each and every student and to equipping to face the challenges of a technology

driven managerial career are seriously addressed at IBA

IBA draws its students from all parts of the Country. Thus IBA students are exposed to varied cultures of different states. This truly makes IBA as mini India. This cultural exchange enhances the placeability of IBA students in any part of the Country & also abroad.

Looking at retail revolution in the country, IBA has designed courses focused on retail. In retail sector, the opportunities are huge. To-day India is one of the biggest sourcing hubs for several retail chains. Indian retail sector is also coming up. This sector has potential to create jobs for between one to two million people per year over the next decade.

Over 200 corporates visit IBA campus every year leading to 100% Quality placement. Due to consistent performance of IBA Alumni in corporates, there has been a significant increase in number of international placements every year. This is not a chance happening but is a reward after a rigorous training, stringent selection and recruitment process of multinationals’ standards.

No wonder IBA is accredited in a short span among top 25 B-Schools in India.

I welcome hard working, ambitious, intelligent students to the 10th Batch at Bangalore and 5th Batch at Greater Noida to go through the IBA learning experience leading to becoming world class managers.

Director-Academics Message

The world is moving towards a new vision of ‘holistic globalization‘ driven by four fundamental forces viz. force of market, force of State, force of people and force of self. In response to the same, a new corporate model has also been emerging wherein there is an integration of profit approach with social contribution of the corporations coupled with good governance. The new holistic vision of the world and the new corporate requirements need a new breed of global managers who would not only contribute to the development of their organization but would also provide leadership to the society to make the world a better place for living. IBA was established on the premise of this vision of its founders and has significantly contributed in this direction through many creative and innovative ideas. In consonance with this vision, the aim of IBA is to develop future CEO’s – Creative, Enlightened and Organic leaders to provide future leadership to industry and society. ‘IBA’ stands for three success mantras viz. Inspiration, Breakthrough and Achievement. At IBA, these three success mantras are represented by success formula viz. Success = Inspiration X Breakthrough X Achievement (S = I X B X A). Inspiration is at the root of all success. Breakthrough approach represents creativity and innovation as driving forces. Achievement represents an inner drive to make significant contributions in one’s professional career. These three represent the ‘IBA’ model of leadership. Students of IBA imbibe these fundamental values and this has led to their success in various walks of life at the national and global levels. Learning at IBA is rooted in the 3 D model of Discussion, Dialogue and Discourse. This learning model, with roots in democratic world view, facilitates development of both left brain and right brain capabilities. It also helps in development of democratic spirit and democratic approach to decision making, problem solving and solution finding. 3D approach facilitates development of Creative, Enlightened and Organic (CEO) leaders.

IBA with its world class infrastructure, academic ambience, high standards of teaching, strong corporate connectivity and excellent placements, provides the right learning environment for the future global managers. We welcome you to be part of this new vision and new thought revolution, to become the best future professional manager.

CEO’s MessageGreetings from IBA Bengaluru.

In late nineties, when Bengaluru was emerging as the ‘knowledge city’ and the ‘intellectual capital’ of India, IBA was conceptualized in the city of Bengaluru to capitalise the emerging opportunities for the aspiring youth of the country.

The IBA’s founding mission was to bring excellence in Teaching, Development of Students, Corporate Networking and in Placements. We decided to address these issues by creating a world-class infrastructure in a 8.5 acre (34,398 Sq. Mts) lush-green land. The curriculum at IBA is rigorous and constantly upgraded based on corporates’ requirement and is in tune with the latest case studies and real time experiences. A strong and active corporate networking helps us to feed the inputs from the industry into academics. Apart from curriculum, the best available faculty teaches IBAians to improve their leadership, communication and soft skills.

At IBA, the talent of the students is sharpened through various Clubs like the HR, I3, Operations, Marketing, Finance and Retail Club. These clubs actively organize learning events, seminars guest lectures to keep the club members abreast with latest trends in corporate and academia. IBA (which is more popular as ‘Indiapura’ because of students from all the communities, backgrounds and almost 21 states) has an active Cultural club which celebrates prominent festivals like Navratri, Christmas, Ramjan, Onam, Paryushan Parva, Durga Pooja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali to name a few.

The end results of these strategies are visible, to the envy of many branded B-Schools of the country. IBA is maintaining 100% Placements since its inception. The students have won awards in Research Paper Presentations. IBAians are winning a major chunk of awards and trophies in B-School Competitions in Bengaluru, NCR and elsewhere. The IBA Vision, its Culture, the Teaching and the philosophy have become a role model for new generation B-Schools in the country.

IBA is today shining among the Top 25 B-Schools in the country. The vision is to get into the top 20 B-Schools in the next 3 years, and then the journey to be among the Top-10 Indian B-Schools. For achieving this, we have been making sustained efforts to induct talented faculty and facilitate them to bring major breakthroughs in knowledge creation. The results are evident in their scholarly publications of articles, papers and books, presentations in National and International Conferences. This has strengthened our efforts in knowledge creation and distribution and thus make IBA a ‘Centre of Excellence for Learning’.

Since inception, we have aimed to build managers and leaders who are hardworking, who believe in dignity of labour, who are team players and pragmatic, having their foot firmly on ground.

Today after 9 years, IBA in Bengaluru marches on a path of glory. With its 23,000 Sq. Mtrs. built-up infrastructure that is exclusively dedicated to Management learning, it is one of the largest B-Schools in Bengaluru - The ‘IT & Knowledge City’ and the ‘Intellectual Capital of India’.

Director-Academics Message

Dear Students

Your journey for success (to become a diamond) starts with your dreams. When you dream big then only you can think big. When you think big than only you can act big. When you act big than only you can achieve big.

At IBA, we prepare students for high pressure management jobs, where they have to work for 12 hours (or more) every day for almost 365 days in a year, the students get acclimatized in the Institute itself to work hard and therefore we give them enough exposure through large number of case studies, quizzes, home work, projects so that they should not face any problem after they pass out from IBA and can truly become DIAMOND, a big asset and the brand ambassadors of IBA.

Our entire IBA team is committed to the vision and mission of IBA to make Indus Business Academy, a truly globally competitive business school, benchmarking with the best business schools of the world in terms of academics, industry centric research, seminars, consultancy while nurturing the young talent i.e. each of you into innovative entrepreneurs and global business leaders who will produce wealth for the nation.

IBA has team of well qualified, trained & experienced faculty and professionals from industry and academia training students for customer delight through service excellence and innovation. We are able to ensure 100 percent quality placement of students in short term as well as in the long term as our students and alumni provide thought leadership for adding value and to act as change agents for growth of any organization.

Success of our sincere efforts will not be possible without unconditional whole-hearted support and 100% commitment from the students. In the whole process, students are the most important person. Hence, put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest act. Anyone can succeed at almost anything for which he or she has unlimited enthusiasm. The harder we try, the luckier we are.

Remember, success is a journey and not a destination. Ensure that you are on the right path (say at IBA), moving in the right direction – instead of just at the right speed. As Mark Twain has said that “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” So act NOW and get ready to join at IBA.

My best wishes for your professional & personal success.

CEO’s Message

Ritesh Jain B.Tech, IIT-BHU, PGDM-GIM CEO-IndusBusinessAcademy GreaterNoida

Has managerial experience at Indica Research New Delhi and Magma Leasing Ltd.

Greetings from IBA Greater Noida.

It gives me immense pleasure to introduce IBA’s Greater Noida Campus to you. Shaping up at one of the best educational hub of North India, the campus within a span of four years has firmly established itself among the corporate, academicians, students and society. The campus is a blend of well crafted buildings, greenery, sitting areas, play fields and lawns, spreading over 5 acre of land, with round the clock security. The enriching and challenging campus life offers full opportunities to students for holistic development.

India, since ages, has been known as the cultural as well as the spiritual capital of the world. Now its prowess in the field of IT and Manufacturing is also accepted by World. One of the major advantages India has is its vast pool of young population, which is now coming forward to shape the future of this country. These young minds (like you!) require the best of the education and training so that they become the wealth creators, by intelligently combining the skills they possess with the best post graduate program. This is where IBA comes into the picture. Our objective of existence is definitely not to impart management education alone. It’s much beyond that. We intend to develop such leaders who can be not only job seekers, but job creators; not only business managers focusing on profits, but transformational leaders who also care about the society at large.

The beauty of management education lies in the unstructured approach it follows towards learning. It is not limited only to classroom teaching, but extends to other means. All the methods have their own importance, and this is the uniqueness in the learning methods at IBA which include ‘Candle Light’ experiments, ‘Who am I’ exercises and ‘Vision Building’ sessions.

Another important aspect of education at IBA is the student centric approach of the program. Students are involved in all aspects of institute’s functioning. It is achieved through students’ clubs organizing various activities like business quizzes, guest lectures, seminars, panel discussions, cultural events and sports activities. In fact the placement process is handled by the students, who work closely with the Placement Officer to achieve 100% quality placements.

The two years’ education is divided into six trimesters, the first three focus on the basic concepts in Marketing, Finance, Operations, International Business, IT and Human Resource. Students can opt for two electives in the second year, thereby getting dual specialization. The whole course is structured in such a way that students learn to forget their differences, learn to live and work together in groups and to achieve the desired results.

Team IBA (CEO, Faculty members, Staff & Students) work towards a common goal, each one playing their own well defined role. Faculty members not only teach; staff not only work; but act as mentors and guide to students, helping them at every step.

I want to emphasize that much of the responsibility of making a successful career lies on the students themselves. If you are self motivated, hard working, intelligent and sincere, who believe in oneself first, takes initiative, know how to make best use of limited time and resources, and can lead from front, then I strongly recommend IBA to you. Two years’ investment at IBA will ensure a successful and meaningful career to you.

Wishing you all the very best !

An extensive corporate internship enables the students to get hands-on experience in blue chip companies. What is unique to IBA is that the last two trimesters are devoted to building entrepreneurial skills, because a successful manager is perceived as a wealth creator for the organisation. The last lap at IBA is devoted to the placement exercise. Preparing the students for this begins much earlier through a process of communication, campus mock interviews, group discussions, etc. A careful placement strategy is in place to provide the students the most appropriate spring- boards for their careers.

The Indus Business Academy Management programme provides a solid foundation in the key business disciplines and reflects the breadth of management issues that arise in the national and international context.

IBA also believes in imparting its students with skills and insights which cannot be gained from textbooks alone. An IBA graduate does not leave its portals with merely a toolkit of skills but also with adequate mental preparedness. The curriculum packs in ingredients to enhance the crucial emotional intelligence along with logical thinking because IBA believes that in a turbulent social and organizational structure, what will win in the end is the heart, in addition to the head.

The IBA curriculum is primed towards enhancing the student in a multi-dimensional mode. The carefully collated subject groups target a particular dimension such as Single Individual, Team Member, Manager, Entrepreneur, Societal Individual and Leader.

IBA has a supportive, close-knit environment where faculty members are readily accessible and students can best develop their individual management potential.

Underpinning the IBA’s approach to learning and teaching are all the resources that you would expect of a major management school from library to WiFi connectivity supplemented by the institute’s dedicated resources.

IBA also understands the need to offer students a flexible approach to their studies. The emphasis is therefore on self-paced learning where students are encouraged to study and gain knowledge at their own pace.

What sets the participants at the IBA programme apart, is that they have the aptitude and background to excel.

In a competitive job market, graduates rarely secure a job solely on the basis of their degree. Academic qualifications or technical skills are only part of the bigger picture - you need to be able to prove to a potential employer that you have the skills and experience they are looking for. Keeping this in mind, the IBA curriculum is constantly fine tuned to the issues that the corporates face everyday.

The course is designed to develop more innovative, enterprising and effective managers with the requisite knowledge, skills and managerial competencies to face the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. The approach followed is to establish a synergy between education and practice and create opportunities for real-life situations where students are guided by practising managers.

The programme also encourages students to analyse individual strengths and weaknesses as part of the self development process to function effectively in a complex and changing international business environment.

A stringent admission process, followed by a varied teaching methodology which includes class-room presentations, lectures, seminars, workshops, case studies, corporate internships, interactions with industry personnel and international exposure ensures that the IBA students have an edge when they enter the corporate world.

IBA’s Programme creates a synergy between education and practice. It addresses those with

a strong desire to make it to the top and have a drive within, to excel. It is structured for those

with a passion to constantly reinvent oneself. It is a unique

management education programme that encourages critical, clear and innovative

thinking about ‘good’ and ‘best’ practices. IBA fortifies these discerning thoughts by

building solid business skills in a collaborative environment.

IBA combines a world class learning environment with

a supportive and flexible approach to teaching. What

also sets IBA apart, is the fact that both Bengaluru and Greater Noida Campuses are

located in prime corporate zones of both cities.

Cultural Symbols at IBAThe Omega CircleDeveloped by our Dean Dr. Subhash Sharma, Omega Circle represents the 360 degree approach at looking issues, i.e. to take a holistic view of the situation. If one draws different lines in a circle, one gets many ‘Ts’. The ‘Ts’ represents truth, and if one stand at one point in a circle, he/she will see only that version of truth. But to get a holistic picture, one has to travel along the circle and look at different Ts, i.e. Truth.

In corporate context, it symbolizes at looking things from a larger perspective and then handling the complex business problems.

TreesThere is a tradition of planting tree by a visitor to IBA Campus.

There are around 50 trees in the campus planted by different eminent personalities from the corporate and academic field and they have become an important symbol of growth in the campus. Trees, according to our Dean Dr. Subhash Sharma, represent the GDP- i.e. Growth, Development and Progress. When these trees will grow, it will symbolize the GDP of the person who has planted it.

IBA FlagIBA flag has three colors, viz. Saffron, Red & Green.

Saffron represents Perfection and in corporate context it represents the good governance.

Red represents the Responsibility- i.e. the students must develop a sense of responsibility towards the society, nature, and environment. In the corporate context, it represents the CSR.

Green represents Growth & Prosperity - the overall development of students coming to IBA. In Corporate context, it represents the Profit.

3D CenterStudents at IBA are encouraged to develop 3 D Approach to learning, i.e. Discussion, Dialogue & Discourse Approach.

Kavya S Bangalore Batch2008-10Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. IBA is the first place that I learnt to “think creatively”

rather than to “accept the monotonous”, a place where I learnt the difference between a manager and a leader and where I learnt that the out-of-the-box route is usually an arduous but ultimately rewarding route. 2 years at IBA have been the most rewarding years of my life. With a great campus, dedicated faculty and an interesting curriculum, you are bound to improve and enrich your personality. IBA has given me and many others a platform to nurture dreams and aspirations. The aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values and this is what IBA stands for.

Kishor Mohite Bangalore Batch2008-10It is said that “Successful colleges will start laying plans for a new stadium; unsuccessful ones will start hunting a new coach”. I

am glad that I am part of such a successful institution. It gave me a platform from where I can easily see where I want to go. My two years at IBA were full of learning and fun. At IBA, you are not only taught about the Management subjects, but you are also taught about how to become a Leader and an Entrepreneur. IBA provides its students to unleash hidden avenues and develop wisdom beyond knowledge.

Neha Hari Bangalore Batch2008-10Time has flown ever since I joined the IBA, Bangalore n the year 2008. Life here just doesn’t stop. With classes starting from 9.00 in the

morning, till the evening, followed by club activities and events, and then assignments and group activities and our pre reading for next class, life has just been really fast, like never before.

But I can say that the experience is just amazing. One can see the electrifying atmosphere in the evenings with people huddling for different club meetings, late night volleyball and basketball matches or people brainstorming for cracking their case studies. I am just trying to make my transition from B.Com to MBA as smooth. I realized that in MBA if one has to sustain, then he better learn to manage time, else he just won’t be able to handle the pressure which the rigorous course offers.

Shilpi Khetan Greater Noida Batch2008-10I feel proud to say “IBAian…. Yes.I am one of them …!” The institute that has benefited me from a comprehensive program of education under

the guidance of experienced professionals. The industry exposure and vivid opportunities has led to an implausible career for me. The clubs and student activities at IBA are yet another paradigm of its student quality. Life at IBA, for many a reasons, cannot be replicated anywhere else. It’s tough to narrate such an experience through article. You need to be here to be a part of this wonderful experience.

Guruprasad Shetty Greater Noida - Batch2008-10 BusinessDevelopment-Cocubes.com

IBA played a very important in discovering the marketing

personnel that I am today. Specially being in Students’ Placement Team gave me lot of exposure and built my confidence in problem solving, creativity and giving your 100%.

Davendra Sharma Greater Noida Batch2008-10I learnt how to define one’s vision and struggle till you achieve your target at IBA which has helped me outperform any other young

graduate at else competing with me at the professional front. All in all, an environment where the teacher is your friend, mentor and guide and most importantly, made me a better individual in every sense of the word. I must say that I am very privileged to have got my MBA from IBA !

Amit Kumar Greater Noida Batch2008-10It has been a very delightful experience having spent 2 years at IBA. IBA has given me opportunity to unleash my full potential. Most initiatives

being student driven, present a great learning experience for budding managers. It’s difficult to find such a place where people are so different, so competitive and yet so close to each other. Nothing can equal the overall development the IBA provides. I firmly believe that with such a strong foundation, I’ll be able to face every battle in the corporate world confidently. IBA Rocks, I am proud to be a member of IBA family.

A C Varun Sekharan Bangalore Batch2009-11Entering a new university can never be easy for anybody. IBA is the place that certainly focuses on academic excellence as well as personal

values. IBA ensures to recruit the best faculty to service the students and guide them in the best possible way. For me, the trepidation of entering the gates of IBA was doubly so, due to a recent accident of mine, which left me with a broken leg. However, my fears were allayed when seniors, my batch mates and even members of the faculty made it easy for me to cope in the first three months. This clearly displayed the sense of camaraderie and spirit which is truly reflective of the culture that IBA is built upon and today; with a great sense of pride I say I’m part of the IBA family.

C Anand Mohandas Bangalore Batch2009-11I am a mechanical engineering. Before joining IBA, I was a bit skeptical about the scope as a fresher in an MBA college, but it all changed over a period of

time. Most of the initiatives being student driven, like the clubs and committees, offer a great learning experience for budding managers. Also the multiculturalism (Mini Indiapura) followed here, broadened my horizon towards different Indian traditions. It’s difficult to find such a place where people are so different, so competitive and yet so close to each other. All in all, IBA provides ample opportunities to students to bring the best out of them and learn the art of effective management.

Rohit Jha Greater Noida Batch2009-11Being at IBA I gained a lot of self confidence, a chance to map my career, according to the current needs of the professional combat. The

best learning that I got is to manage my time, a sincere dedication towards a task and a healthy environment for my upcoming potentials in the field of management

Tania Das Greater Noida Batch2009-11There is a different management philosophy practiced in IBA- GN which makes it different from other B- schools. The values and

ethics taught here is truly unmatchable and surpassing the horizon. Its mission is not only to produce future management leaders but also instill in the students the sense of responsibility for the society and the nation. It is indeed doing commendable job of making students emerge with that extra factor to outshine others which is required in this globally competitive world. The various activities organized here have helped students realize and unleash their talents that they had been unaware of and thus creating eminent wealth for the nation.

Saurabh Gupta Greater Noida Batch2009-11IBA to me is an abode of knowledge. The amount of learning and the scope of all round development are just immense. The course is

rigorous and very demanding but the challenges which we are exposed to all the time is the real experience to us. Being with the talented students and rich faculty in a residential program, the level of interaction is very high. In one day we do so many things right from attending lectures, quizzes, club activities, presentations, assignments that life at IBA never stops and that allows us to learn time management and handle the pressure. IBA has changed my perspective & a person as a whole. I am very sure that when I will step into ‘real’ world, lessons learnt in IBA will make me a vanguard.

2009-11 Students Speak

Sandeep Johnson Bangalore Batch2009-11The highlight of my experience at IBA was working with people of different cultures, languages and more importantly with different

ideas, interests, talents and ambitions. The encouragement towards learning beyond classrooms through club activities and live projects defined a new dimension towards the application of what I learnt.

Importance towards personality, discipline and the platform provided to enhance the application of the learning into the corporate life made it more special at IBA. The assets of IBA - its serene campus and the highly qualified faculty made it a great, fun filled learning experience for me and I can surely say - those were the best days of my life!!!

Rashi Gupta Bangalore Batch2009-11Before coming to IBA my perception of MBA College was something different, what I use to think was 24*7 lectures, very tough life, hectic schedules,

after coming to IBA slowly came to know the value of all these things, as they inculcated discipline, commitment towards work and finally an energetic and positive approach towards life.

Everything present in IBA campus, unlike most of the other campuses, has got a deep thought process behind it which proves to be a real value addition for every student. The clubs, committees, and time to time happening events give us practical exposure and make us realize our unique stand in the world.Apart from this, the celebrations of every festival make us feel at home. In one line we can call IBA,

‘A HOME AWAY FROM HOME’.

“It has been 5 years since I graduated from IBA and today I have climbed new heights in my professional and personal life which I owe to the two rigorous years at IBA. The PGPM program gave me the opportunity to not only develop my scholastic ability but also prepared me to effectively perform in the competitive corporate world. The program is not for the faint-hearted and demands are high with schedules packed with lectures, group discussions, presentations, exams, internships and corporate visits, giving students a real-time feel of corporate life. IBA gives its’ students the prospect of learning from a highly dedicated and industry-focused team of faculty, who’s corporate and life experiences have molded me into the professional I am today. I was recruited from campus by a leading bank in India as a treasury dealer and today I am part of the management team of the leading private bank in Uganda. To add to my accolades, my peers in the banking sector have elected me as the Chairman of The Uganda Dealers Association and I write for a number of business papers. Though one reaps the benefits of ones efforts, it was IBA which recognized my proficiency and mentored me on how to use it to my best. My classmates and the network of alumni and faculty of this prestigious institute have created a bond that will last over the years and throughout our careers, however scattered we are among international boundaries. This was one of the great experiences of my life.”

IBA added eminence in me not only academically but

also professionally. The confidence , attitude and way of thinking is what I attribute to IBA. This has helped me in taking the decision of starting my own venture. The academic culture in college was a mix of class room studies as well as practical training, in particular all the Management fests that I participated built in me the self-belief and offered me rich experience on various facets of life and career . All these together made me convinced enough to stand in this corporate world on my own.

my life. It reinforced values that I learnt growing up. It taught me that in business the same rules apply as they do in personal life. Business is about people and one can never go wrong when being honest, respecting individuals and doing what’s right for the customers. 58

Vijay A G Batch2001-03

Manager–HumanResource TitanIndustriesLimited,Bangalore What can I say about IBA, it

shaped my career in between my work life. I had 6 years of experience before I embarked on my academic journey to pursue my PGDBM. Actually I had serious inhibition in pursuing midst a younger crowd :o).

But the Management, Faculty and my own class team helped me to get along with all. After that it was just a great 2 years, we celebrated our study in the campus, with lot of real time case studies, role plays, committees, canteen food etc. We had full freedom to express our ideas and thoughts. Our knowledge and skills were enlightened with thoughts and examples by well qualified and magnificent professors, lectures and other guest lectures from the corporate world. I enjoyed every moment of my campus life in the pleasant greenery, well stocked library, and other hostel facilities. The entire institution is evolving as the single soul with same objective as providing top class experience in management learning and light up each and every student to realize their dream and goal. IBA has not just made me a thorough Professional, but it molded me as a responsible human being too.

Prerna Duhan Batch2006-08GroupM BusinessExecutive,Mumbai

IBA education is not just confined to Management but

it also combines the Indian ethos, management concepts and technological advances to create a paradigm shift in you. The encouragement I received from the faculty, to compete at various other B-school events, has been the key source of my confidence today – a catalyst to think creatively on my feet which in my field, is reckoned on a daily basis. IBA’s mantra to ‘aspire, empower and excel’ has been a powerful instrument in shaping my mind to face the world with clarity and conviction. I can say with pride “IBA has given me the foundation and the launch pad from where my career has taken off to a flying start !!!”

I am so grateful to IBA for bestowing me with the gifts of personal growth and serving as a base for my career in this demanding business arena.

I was very skeptic when I joined IBA .I was not sure

whether my decision of doing MBA after 2 years of industry experience and from an agriculture science background right or wrong?However after joining IBA, I never regretted on my decision.The experience at IBA has been one of the best in terms of not only academics but also in the overall development of an individual.

Prashant Hakim Batch2003-05

ProcessManager–KnowledgeServiceGroup,SyvenGlobalServices,Delhi

What really exemplifies the best part of IBA is that I’ve

been able to combine all of my interests and passions in one experience. After spending all my time in Kolkata, in a sales job along with my graduation, I also had a passion for Finance (Investment Banking). I had made my mind to study in UK, when I got a call from IBA and finally decided to join IBA. Here I have been able to put all my interest together along with the IBA program. IBA has allowed me pull all of those passions together, work on all of them at once and move ahead with what I want to do with my career. With the kind of knowledge and learning I got from IBA, had helped me pursue a career in Investment Banking. Today where ever I am, I believe it is because of my learning’s at IBA.
