Incepted in 2003, ILS has created a nexus of leaders over the past 16 years. It is unmatchable on different fronts. A two-day marathon will include leadership talks, industry sessions and panel discussions by industry stalwarts, personal idols, political heavyweights and legendary entrepreneurs. The ISB Mohali campus saw a footfall of more than 500 delegates last year. With an impressive line up of speakers and a plethora of novel events up its sleeve, the upcoming summit is gunning for even larger engagement.

ISB Leadership Summit 2019: The Indian School of Business and its transformational value 

What makes ILS unique is that it has something special for everyone. The Indian School of Business is reflecting its transformational value. “How far can one go in a year ?” is the bold question ISB asks its applicants while ILS epitomizes the spirit of the answer. Considering the summit over the years, personalities like Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Karan Johar, CXOs such as Shiv Shivakumar and Suresh Narayanan, sportspersons such as Abhinav Bindra, ILS celebrates all genres of leadership. With stimulating panel discussions including topics such as “The Future of Mobility”, “Unconventional Leadership”, “Content and Media" and insightful speaker sessions like “Crafting a Narrative: Kashmir” by Lt. Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (Retd) and “Delhi - From a Foundation of Education to Education as a Foundation” by Honorable Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Mr. Manish Sisodia, the event has a lot to offer. 

But past excellence won't define the future endeavors. For those with the required level of skepticism, this year’s list of speakers will allay your reservations. A delegate with an all-access pass to the ILS at Mohali can observe panel discussions. Also, one can attend speaker sessions and have opportunities for one-on-one interactions during breakout sessions. The list of confirmed dignitaries who would be gracing the event with their respective sessions can be found here. 

Theme: The Leading Edge

But it doesn’t end here. With the theme 'The Leading Edge', the ILS is also set to host the Start-up Conclave, a groundbreaking opportunity where entrepreneurs with early-age startups from various incubation centers across the board will showcase their ideas and products to the imminent leaders in their fields. Not to mention the networking dinners where some of the brightest minds of the country will interact informally with business leaders in the making. This medley of initiatives, events and ideas put the ISB Leadership Summit 2019 well on its way to being a massive success, with more than 800+ registrations and an impressive group of sponsors.
