Hyderabad-based Indian Business School (ISB) is aiming to become the biggest B-school in the world, chairman Rajat Gupta said today.
"It took IITs and IIMs 50 years to double the number of seats. If you want to make something different in the country you have to scale up. After the Mohali campus begins, we will become number one in the world," Gupta said.
The ISB at present has a strength of 600 students.
He said that ISB would introduce innovative model of management education in Mohali. The Punjab Government has alloted 70 acres of land to ISB for starting the B-school.
Half of the curriculum will be general management and the other half will have manufacturing, infrastructure, policy and healthcare management, the ISB chairman said on the sidelines of a panel discussion on "The India Way: How Indian business leaders are revolutionising management", a book co-authored by Prof Harbir Singh, vice-dean of global initiatives at Wharton School.
Rajat Gupta, who is also the senior partner emeritus of McKinsey & Company, refused to comment on investigations by the US authorities into his alleged role as Goldman Sachs director in the Galleon hedge fund insider trading scam in the US that came to light last year.
The scam allegedly involving Galleons Sri Lankan founder Raj Rajratnam had reportedly revealed the involvement of former ISB executive board member and McKinsey director Anil Kumar, who later pleaded guilty to the charges.
