Message From Deputy Director Corporate Relations

Dear Prospective Students,

• When you choose a business school, you are not just choosing where you will study; you are choosing an environment that will prepare you for the world of work.
• At IBS Bengaluru, we believe that career readiness cannot begin only when placement season arrives. It has to be built progressively through academic learning, industry exposure, skill development, internships, mentoring and continuous interaction with the corporate world.
• The workplace today is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, analytics, digital transformation and new business models are reshaping roles across industries. At the same time, organisations continue to value capabilities that technology cannot easily replace—communication, critical thinking, adaptability, judgement, integrity and the ability to work effectively with people. Our endeavour is therefore to help students develop both contemporary skills and enduring human capabilities.
• Throughout their journey at IBS Bengaluru, students have opportunities to engage with industry professionals, recruiters and alumni through corporate interactions, workshops, mentoring, internships and career-focused initiatives. Skill-building interventions in areas such as AI, analytics, financial modelling, ESG and other emerging domains complement structured preparation in aptitude, communication, group discussions and interviews. Our objective is not merely to help students secure their first job, but to enable them to understand the changing workplace and continuously build their employability.
• Our relationship with industry is an integral part of this process. We engage with organisations to understand emerging roles, changing skill requirements and recruiter expectations, and use these insights to strengthen student preparation.
• Ultimately, however, a successful career cannot be created by an institution alone. We can create opportunities, provide exposure and prepare you for them; what you make of those opportunities will depend on your curiosity, effort and willingness to learn.
• I encourage you to look at your time at IBS Bengaluru not simply as a journey towards a degree or a placement, but as an opportunity to discover your strengths, build your capabilities and prepare yourself for a career that may evolve many times over.
• I look forward to welcoming you to IBS Bengaluru and being a part of your journey.

Dr. Manisha Singh
