Rajendra Srivastava named dean of Indian School of Business

The Indian School of Business (ISB), one of the top B-schools in the country, today appointed Rajendra Srivastava, Deputy president (academic affairs) of Singapore Management University, as its new dean.
"Rajendra Srivastava has been chosen as the new dean in place of outgoing dean Ajit Rangnekar, who has been serving in his position since 2009," the B-school said in an official statement.
Srivastava will take over from Ajit Rangnekar as the fifth dean of the B-school in January 2016.
The Indian School of Business has two campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali, and is seen as equal to state-run Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), despite being a private management school.

After IIM-Ahmedabad and IIM-Bangalore, ISB is the third leading Indian B-school to hire its director or dean from a foreign school.
