Hyderabad: The Indian School of Business (ISB) on Wednesday said that more number of students who graduated from ISB have turned to entrepreneurship over the last decade than any other Indian business school.

Citing a recently released PitchBook Annual University Rankings 2023, ISB said it has ranked at the top of the list in India.

The school has ranked 20 in the global list. There were three B-schools from India in the top 50. 175 ISB alumni went on to establish their own companies, of which some companies have raised $4.5 billion in capital, during this period.

ISB said, “We have managed to nurture talent that has the confidence to start their own businesses and make them successful due to a host of reasons. ISB admits some of the brightest students every year who are trained by a world-class faculty who are thought leaders in their respective domains. In addition to their core subjects, they are specially trained in entrepreneurship; competitive strategy, responsible leadership; strategic innovation management and business process excellence.”

PitchBook’s annual university rankings compare schools by adding up the number of alumni entrepreneurs who have raised venture capital for their startups in the last decade. ISB has over 17,000 alumni who have made an impact in sectors including edtech, e-commerce, automobiles, cleantech, finance, and media, among others. ISB has established I-Venture@ISB which fosters entrepreneurship and nurtures startups.
