Visiting Faculty Industry leaders who teach in the ISB&M classroom

Why industry faculty matter in a PGDM
A PGDM is a professional degree. Students need theory from the core faculty and a working view of how companies use it. Our visiting faculty supply that second half: a CFA who has worked at Barclays explains how risk desks read the market; an HR head from TVS Logistics walks through a real plant negotiation; an IBM and Fujitsu veteran shows how large IT projects are run for Indian Railways and ONGC.
They take part in teaching and student development in several ways:
- Elective and specialisation sessions
- Case discussions from live practice
- Skill workshops and simulations
- Mentoring for placements and projects
