Dean’s Message

Towards future CEOs : Creative, Enlightened & Organic leaders

The world is moving towards a new vision of ‘holistic globalization‘driven by four fundamental forces viz. force of market, force of State, force of people and force of self. In response to the same, a new corporate model has also been emerging wherein there is an integration of profi t approach with social contribution of the corporations coupled with good governance. The new holistic vision of the world and the new corporate requirements need a new breed of global managers who would not only contribute to the development of their organization but would also provide leadership to the society to make the world a better place for living. Indian Business Academy (IBA) was established on the premise of this vision of its founders and has significantly contributed in this direction through many creative and innovative ideas. In consonance with this vision, the aim of IBA is to develop future CEOs – Creative, Enlightened and Organic leaders to provide future leadership to industry and society. ‘IBA’ stands for three success mantras viz. Inspiration, Breakthrough and Achievement. Inspiration is at the root of all success. Breakthrough approach represents creativity and innovation as driving forces. Achievement represents an inner drive to make significantly contributions in one’s professional career. These three success mantras represent the ‘IBA” model of leadership. Students of IBA imbibe these fundamental values and this has led to their success in various walks of life at the national and global levels. IBA with its world class infrastructure, academic ambience, high standards of teaching, strong corporate connectivity and excellent placements, provides the right learning environment for the future global managers. We welcome you to be part of this new vision and new thought revolution to become the best future professional manager.
