Regarding the win Dr. Purkayastha, Director, IBS Case Research Center, said: “This category has grown in significance in the new age marked by digital disruption, and we are proud that IBS has had continuous success in this category. What’s more, in a very tough year marked by the pandemic, IBS had a record 18 bestselling cases this year, which is next only to Harvard!  All this shows why a growing number of students and recruiters prefer IBS. Our students are taught with the same cases that are taught at the world’s best B-Schools, and thus help them transform into well-rounded, future-ready professionals.”
