About ISB&M Pune
Building Capability. Shaping Careers. Taking On the World.
Founded in 2000, ISB&M – International School of Business & Media, Pune has built its identity around a clear purpose: to develop capable, responsible and future-ready management professionals who can succeed in a fast-changing business world.
Our approach to management education combines strong academic foundations, dual specialisation, industry-connected learning, experiential exposure and continuous professional development. Through case discussions, simulations, projects, internships, workshops and interaction with business leaders, students are encouraged to move beyond theory and develop the judgement required to analyse situations, make decisions and respond confidently to real business challenges.
The learning environment is strengthened by faculty with academic and professional backgrounds from leading institutions such as IITs, IIMs, XLRI, SPJIMR, JNU, BITS Pilani, MDI, FMS and TISS, along with experienced corporate practitioners who bring contemporary industry perspectives into the classroom.
Beyond the classroom, ISB&M encourages students to take ownership of their development through guided self-study, mentoring, career counselling, workshops, guest sessions and continuous exposure to evolving industry practices.
With a growing community of 12,000+ alumni across 46 countries, ISB&M extends well beyond the campus, creating a strong professional network across industries, functions and geographies.
At ISB&M, we believe management education should prepare students not only for their first opportunity, but for a career of learning, adapting, leading and creating value.
