ISB brings Chanda Kochhar on board
The Indian School of Business (ISB) has brought on board ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochar, Cognizant Technologies Vice-Chairman Lakshmi Narayanan and Citigroup's South Asia CEO Mark Robinson as directors. This takes the total number of directors on its executive board, which is involved with the running of the premier B-school, to 33, reports Times of India.
Though the decision to rope in the three new directors is understood to have been taken at ISB's board meeting held on January 8, 
this year in Mumbai, the institute is yet to formally announce their appointments. However, their names have already been uploaded on the Hyderabad-based B-school's website.
Meanwhile, with land procurement delays dogging its plans for a second campus at Mohali, ISB is now learnt to be scouting for alternatives. The Mohali campus, which was scheduled to be up and running by 2011, has been delayed by a year after legal disputes surrounding the 70 acres of land that was identified by the Punjab government for the campus. ISB's sprawling Hyderabad campus, which was set up in 2001, is spread over 260 acres in the IT hub of Gachibowli.
"If we don't get land in three months and get started on the Mohali campus we will have to look for alternatives. We are already scouting for alternative sites to Mohali as time is running out and the project is way behind schedule," ISB Dean Ajit Rangnekar told TOI. He, however, refused to divulge the other locations under consideration except that the site would be close to any of the big cities in North India.
