About the Event

ISB was founded on the premise that academic research that is locally relevant and globally respected plays a vital role in creating a vibrant business ecosystem. We are proud that we have made some progress in building a community of scholars who use cutting-edge research to solve the thorny problems that India faces as it develops.

Research isn't just about facts and figures. It is a fusion of science and imagination. And framing India’s research future is a collaborative effort. 

The ISB Insights Forum, launched in 2023, is a by-invitation-only, annual research showcase, and a platform to spotlight key research shaping management discourse in India and around the globe. It also seeks to recognise crucial support from individuals - through their philanthropy, corporate expertise, and academic contributions - towards the advancement of research initiatives in the country. 

Why attend?

The third edition of the Forum aims to bring together academicians, policymakers, industrialists, and knowledge creators to create actionable research agendas towards a brighter future for the planet’s 8 billion inhabitants. Led by some of ISB’s senior faculty and senior thought leaders from the government and industry, discussions at the day-long forum will explore solutions to many of the pressing issues that the nation faces today and in the future. 

Agenda
