It amazes me how the ISB campus beautifully nurtures both the peace and the serenity of the nature and the aggressive ambitions of young business students aspiring to take on the world. The scenic imagery of calm lush greens and beautiful birds is so deceiving that it can almost lead an outsider to imagine that students inside the campus walk around in disciple’s robes, waiting at their guru’s feet to acquire distinguished knowledge. Only, the truth is slightly different. With 4 hours of sleep and countless number of coffees, students juggling with case studies, classes, assignments, club elections, business competitions and of course parties. I have found ways of coping and sustaining with a resilience I did not know I had.

My classes are where I have the most fun however. Every class leaves me with a feeling of gratitude for being part of this one year journey as the teaching from such erudite faculty gives me not only knowledge but also inspires passion and love for the new subjects that I am meeting. My education has also not just been academic. Every day I meet new people from among this diverse and eclectic bunch of geniuses and every meeting, every coffee is a chance to look into a totally new world. I realize that every person has a wonderful story and a fresh perspective to share and ISB offers many such opportunities to share experiences and to grow from peer interactions.

Above all, what I value the most here is that I am getting to learn more about myself. In fact, in the very first week of our course, we were taken through a self-awareness program to help us learn more about ourselves and work on becoming better leaders. The environment here fosters the growth of critical thinking skills, leadership skills, people-skills and time management skills. Above it teaches you how to stand strong and be resilient no matter what.

My ISB experience, even in this short span of time, has been rich and intense.
