Hyderabad, March 3, 2006: The Indian School of Business (ISB) hosted the President of the United States - Mr. George W. Bush - on March 3, 2006, amidst the presence of the students, faculty and management of the school. Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State, Mr. David C. Mulford, Ambassador to India, Mr. David T. Hopper, the Consul General from Chennai, and a few other officials visited the ISB along with the President.

Rajat Gupta, Chairman of the ISB (Past Managing Director of Mckinsey and Senior Partner Worldwide), received the President along with Prof. M. Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB. In an exclusive meeting, the Chairman and the Dean briefed the President about the history of the ISB, and the remarkable progress that the school has made since the five years of its establishment.

"We are delighted that President Bush has chosen a premier management institution like the ISB for his visit. This is indeed a prestigious event for us," said Rajat Gupta.

"The ISB has emerged as a world-class business management institution within a short span of time. We have highlighted the success of our one year post graduate management programme to the President. We took the opportunity to emphasise our focus on entrepreneurship and cutting-edge research, especially relevant to emerging economies," said Dean Rammohan Rao.

The President addressed the students and spent some time interacting with a round-table of a group of entrepreneurs. Anjali Patel, a student from the ISB Class of 2006, was a participant in the round-table. "To be chosen for a one-on-one interaction with President Bush is a great opportunity for me," she said. Anjali is involved with social entrepreneurship projects, and is the President of the Net Impact Club at the ISB.
