Sharing his thoughts on the EFPM, Sanjay Kallapur, Deputy Dean, Faculty Review and FPM, said, “Research is an integral part of the EFPM at ISB. Students will learn rigorous research methods and hone their critical thinking skills, work closely with faculty experts across disciplines to become the next generation of thought leaders in research.”
