One of the unique achievements of ISB Students this year was the Business Plan they developed for an upcoming B-school in Kolkata. The student group designed a backbone business strategy and also a financial model to set up the school and see it through for the next five years.

A group of students of the Class of 2007 conceived a Business Plan with a strategy to accelerate inclusive growth in India through entrepreneurship. This has been recommended to the PMO and the Planning Commission for further study.

Students of the 'Pharma Club' worked with the Organization of Pharmaceuticals Producers of India (OPPI) and designed a first-of-its-kind course in Pharma Management, to be taught at the ISB henceforward.

Students of the 'Net Impact Club' designed and conducted a Certified Management Workshop for NGOs.

A 'Real Estate Club' was launched and managed by a group of students interested in this nascent industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities that it faces today.

Students also launched the ISB Radio - an intranet streaming radio, accessible within the ISB campus. A core group of students sourced the software, developed programme modules, and even scripted and scored the lyrics and music for the 'ISB Jingle' as part of the radio programme.

In all, the Class of 2007 has performed extremely well in all areas of academic activity as well as in extra-curricular activities leaving an indelible mark in the history of the school.

Concluded.
