  "account": "The Indian School of Business (ISB) has unveiled a range of initiatives to celebrate its 25th anniversary, with the primary goal of enhancing accessibility to management education and bolstering research and teaching capabilities in India. One of the key programs, the ISB25 Scholars Programme, will provide 250 scholarships annually to students from diverse economic, geographical, and professional backgrounds. These scholarships will cover tuition fees fully, partially, or in varying degrees, depending on the student's merit and financial need.\n\nBeyond the scholarship initiative, ISB has unveiled plans to establish the India Research Commons, a national platform designed to offer researchers across India access to a wealth of curated datasets, research tools, methodological resources, and AI-enhanced research infrastructure. Additionally, the institute will roll out a national faculty development program, aiming to disseminate its teaching methodologies, classroom practices, and technology-integrated learning approaches to management institutions across the country.\n\nThese strategic moves come in line with ISB's ongoing efforts to align its academic offerings with the evolving needs of learners and the industry. In 2025, ISB launched the PGP YL program, which initially enrolled 130 students, with over a third of them receiving tuition waivers. Furthermore, ISB introduced ISB Discover, a digital platform that facilitates the sharing of faculty research with policymakers, business leaders, and the public.",
