Bachelor in Global Business & Entrepreneurial Leadership

Programme Overview

Programme Overview

The B.Sc. in Global Business & Entrepreneurial Leadership at ISH prepares students to build and lead organisations across the service and consumer economy. The program develops ownership, systems thinking, and the ability to make clear decisions in uncertain environments.

Across eight semesters, students pursue a B.Sc. degree from Gurugram University with academic direction from Les Roches. The curriculum is built on four pillars: global business and strategy, entrepreneurship and venture building, responsible leadership and governance, and digital and analytical capability.

Learning combines classroom study with studios and labs, live projects, simulations, and mentorship from founders, CXOs, and industry partners. Students start with foundations in business, data, communication, and markets, then move into venture building, strategic thinking, and leadership. Final-year work focuses on advanced projects and a capstone that brings together their skills.

Graduates leave with adaptability, financial and digital fluency, and strong communication. They are prepared to grow family businesses, build new ventures, or take on roles in high-growth companies and the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.
