Our logo postulates character and capacity building through integrity, re-
alizing supremacy of Self to enjoy the beauty of Life, enriched by rays of
hope. ISBR logo symbolizes its core values, it is an epitome of the rising Sun.

Rising Sun! Is there one? If we believe the Earth revolves around the Sun,
then there’s no sunrise or sunset! A sunset in one place is simultaneously
a sunrise somewhere else. Constant evolution, continuous movement for-
ward, resulting in progress - this is the only truth!

The central crust, in deep red, is iconic of human values - trust and faith,
and the source of eternal energy. Around this is the white a space, repre-
senting truth and transparency, the shining face of life, bright and bold.

The outer golden yellow crescent reflects value transformation, from latent
‘potential’ into ‘real’.As the gold would have passed through hard drilling,
crushing, and smelting to finally become precious gold, students trans-
form through the process of vigorous training, coaching and mentoring,
with dedication and hard work, to becoming fine human beings and then
effective managers.

The beaming rays around the crescent reflect the facets and tenets of skills
and knowledge, with non-linear waves, assuring freedom and flexibility for
self expression.

The risen and revealed SUN (through stimulate understand- nurture cycle)
is what is evolved, but what’s beneath and down under is more important
and precious, deep inside for the individual to discover, emerge and rise to
the REAL WORLD through REAL LEARNING.

PGDM
with International Study Trip
The two year AICTE approved PGDM program clubbed with international study trip is
aimed at providing cross cultural exposure to our management grads. During the study
trip, students are expected to make business environment observations such as quality
control, innovation, marketing strategies, cost effective planning, policies and procedures,
innovation in design and success of entrepreneurial efforts to list a few.

PGDM
with One Semester Abroad
Recognizing the need for advanced global competency, this PGDM program with one
semester abroad aims at cross cultural exposure and building global perspective amongst
students.
The learning outcomes of this program are extremely rewarding and career enhancing for
students building in them the capability to take professional challenges head on. Under
this program, students have the option of studying one semester with any of the ISBR's
International partner Universities.
Besides getting taught by renowned international faculty, students build a strong network
with international student community. Students also get mentored by international
professors.
Under this program, students have an option of undergoing one semester with the
international university partner under the students exchange arrangement, where, apart
from building a strong network with international students, they will meet and learn from
professors of the international universities. This program enables the students to get the
best of Indian and international education. Students will be in the midst of truly multinational
peer groups. During the course of this study, students will be taken on various corporate and
academic tours. This will provide an opportunity of understanding how global corporates
work.

24
Global* PGDM
The two year Global PGDM - Tri Country Program is an innovative and exciting model for a
real global exposure. Students get anopportunity to gain invaluable exposure, experience
and practical knowledge by traveling, studying and experiencing three countries (including
India) during their two years of AICTE approved PGDM.

The program is aimed at building various facets of leadership from an international

perspective, helping students understand business with a global perspective. Students of
this program are expected to get the required exposure, skills sets, business acumen and
confidence to work in any organization in any part of the world. Throughout the program,
students experience holistic learning of cross-cultural sensitivities, real world experiences, the
best of academic mentors, both by Indian and international faculty members, international
industry visits, hightech classrooms, international standard facilities including comfortable
accommodation, sports and fitness centres. This program rightfully justifies the practical
part of pursuing masters in the area of management. Students become culture sensitive
and will develop a broader approach to adaptability.

This program provides what most MBAs don’t: a thoughtful understanding of how the global
economy works and how organizations can best organize and operate in it. The program
helps students become effective communicators and decision-makers with essential
qualities of a leader. The curriculum is taught by world-class faculty. They use an engaged
learning approach with case studies and discussions that stimulate class interaction.

*The term “Global” is used only to reflect the global exposure and global business acumen students
of this program are expected to gain through student exchange arrangements with the international
university partners.

PGDM
in Sports Management

This AICTE approved PGDM program with Sports Management as a specialization takes the
student, from being just a fan or a player and teaches him or her the business of sports. A few
years ago, sports management was a barely known curriculum and the field itself was limited
and poorly defined. Sports industry jobs were usually filled by former players or coaches, or
general management graduates. Now, a formal Sports Management qualification prepares
you for a career that combines business and sports. The specialized curriculum for this
program helps you develop skills and knowledge that sports management staff use on a
day to day basis. The bottomline is that sports is also an industry in itself and a business
opportunity and companies are looking for employees with knowledge and experience to
go along with their passion for sports. With the proliferation of professional sports leagues in
almost every sport, backed by business and media and the growth of sports management
firms, there are plenty of job opportunities in the billion dollar sports industry in India. But
there is not enough trained manpower to fill these roles, because very few institutes offer
sports management education in the country at the moment.

institution.
I am glad to have had this
amazing journey at this place.

It was an amazing experience at ISBR. Not only academics but

everything else was special at ISBR. Hostel, cafeteria, guest sessions
and interactions with facilities. A student like me who came from a
non management background never had a hard time understanding
the concepts. Even during the pandemic studies never got hampered.
I learnt more and more which helped me taking wise decisions.
Placements were awesome, getting into a big company gave me a
solid base to reach new heights of my career. Overall I'll never forget
the te I spent at the campus, with facilities and with my friends.
