Indian School of Business conducts e-graduation ceremony for 692 students

The e-graduation ceremony was also attended by the students of PGP (class of 2021), FPM (Fellow Programme in Management) and the founding class of EFPM (Executive Fellow Programme in Management).

Indian School of Business (ISB) conferred a total of 692 students on August 13. The business school conducted its 20th graduation ceremony virtually amid the ongoing pandemic situation. The ceremony was attended by Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran as the chief guest. While 481 students graduated from the Hyderabad campus, 211 students passed out from the Mohali campus. The e-graduation ceremony was also attended by the students of PGP (class of 2021), FPM (Fellow Programme in Management) and the founding class of EFPM (Executive Fellow Programme in Management).

Congratulating the graduates, Chandrasekaran told them that they are graduating at a pivotal moment in time. He further added, “We have experienced advancements that we could not have imagined-from scientific breakthroughs to new ways of learning, living, and working. This is a tremendous opportunity for India to change and better itself. And this opportunity is your opportunity. For the world is being rethought, and soon it will be rebuilt. Never before has there been such an opening for bold new ideas.”

“I believe that the new India that emerges in the coming decade can be the global leader in R&D, science and technology, AI, advanced manufacturing and next-generation products and services. We have the right human capital. We have the scale. We just need to make the right investments. And for that, we need to start with the fundamentals,” he underlined.

Earlier, addressing his first graduation ceremony as the Dean of the ISB, Professor Madan Pillutla said that after completing two decades of meaningful and eventful years of national contribution, the ISB is in for more promising and exciting times ahead.

“With the varied intellectual and physical resources at the ISB’s disposal today, I believe we have the responsibility to contribute a lot more to India. The third decade of the ISB should be about impact and transformation,” he said.

Students who excelled in academics and extra-curricular activities also received awards during the graduation ceremony for their accomplishments.

Siddhant Gupta from the Mohali campus and Tanya Sri Yerra from the Hyderabad campus received the gold medals for topping the class. Ridhi Vohra from Co2021 received the ISB Parmeshwar Godrej Award, which is given to honour the memory of Parmeshwar Godrej to an Exemplary Woman Student with a strong commitment towards social causes.
