Rajat, having worked for close to 5 years in the Consulting domain at Ernst & Young, decided to take the plunge and immerse himself in the “transformative” experience of life at ISB.

A running enthusiast and a foodie, Rajat is also the Mentorship Coordinator for the Alumni Life Council and the AIKYA Coordinator (Mohali Campus) for the Class of 2016.

Another club that captured the heart of the ISB community recently was the Radio Club. Yes, we do have professional RJs at ISB! The Radio Club organized Cross Campus Dedications (one radio, two campuses!), and was flooded with requests from the students. If there was anything left to complete the feeling of a community that ISB brings, it was accomplished by having our very own radio. The messages conveyed love, fun, and a mutual fear of DMOP! The witticisms of the RJs and the relatability of the songs and messages brought together the campuses over radio. Recently, the Radio Club held a classic rock night, proving that it is indeed just the beginning of many events to come.
