The Indian School of Business (ISB), with campuses in Mohali and Hyderabad, is hosting the ISB National Conclave 2015, on ‘Driving India’s Growth Momentum: Capacity Building in Public Policy, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Infrastructure’. This annual event, now in its second year, will explore potential solutions to endemic problems facing India in these four crucial sectors. The Conclave will be held on December 3, 2015 in New Delhi.
Leading members of the government, policy makers, industry leaders and academia are expected to converge at the ISB National Conclave to evaluate the various developmental initiatives undertaken by the Government to drive India’s Growth Momentum. They will identify challenges and offer solutions to strengthen capacity building measures in public policy, healthcare, manufacturing and infrastructure.
The Government’s initiatives such as Make in India, Swach Bharat Abhiyaan, Smart Cities Mission, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana to accelerate the PM’s new mantra, ‘reform to transform’ will form a part of the discussions at the ISB National Conclave.

ISB is committed to support and influence policy making in the country through the thought leadership its faculty, institutes and centres bring to the table. ”
