ISB's Commitment to Social Impact:
Professor Madan Pillutla, Dean of ISB, urged graduates to leverage their privilege for social good and address inequalities within the country. He also emphasized the importance of fostering civil discourse and embracing diverse perspectives. He was quoted as saying, “First, use your privilege to serve those less fortunate. Inequality persists in our country, and your skills can help address these issues. Second, cultivate the habit of civil disagreement. Embrace different views with kindness and empathy.”
“Graduation is a time for reflection. Think about what success means to you in five, 10, or even more years. Many ISB alumni attribute their transformation to their time here at ISB, and I believe the same will be true for you,”
