Hyd: ISB’s PGP YL inaugural batch secures 175 summer internship offers; Highest stipend at ₹7.3 Lakh

Hyderabad, Jan 23 (UNI) The Indian School of Business (ISB) on Friday said it has successfully concluded the summer internship placements for the inaugural cohort (2025–2027) of its Post Graduate Programme in Management for Young Leaders (PGP YL), with 100% of the batch securing internships.
Students received over 175 offers from 38 organisations across consulting, banking and finance, FMCG, technology, conglomerates, manufacturing, and social impact sectors.
Despite entering the programme with an average of just 11 months of prior work experience, the cohort achieved an average summer stipend of ₹3.2 lakh, with the highest stipend reaching ₹7.3 lakh, reflecting the quality and responsibility of roles offered to early-career professionals.
Consulting emerged as the largest recruiting sector, accounting for 47% of the offers, followed by finance and investment advisory (19%), FMCG (11%), technology (10%), and conglomerates (7%). The remaining roles were spread across operations, emerging technologies, manufacturing, consumer services, and non-profit organisations.
The internships span roles in business and strategy consulting, general management, brand marketing, product and program management in technology, transformation, finance, investment advisory, sales management, and operations.
Commenting on the outcome, Professor Deepa Mani, Deputy Dean, Academic Programmes, ISB, said that the results reaffirm the school’s belief that with the right academic foundation and experiential exposure, young talent can create meaningful organisational impact. She noted that the diversity of recruiters and roles reflects the effectiveness of ISB’s practice-oriented pedagogy.
The PGP YL programme emphasises experiential learning through initiatives such as Innovation through Design Exploration and Actionable Solutions (iDEAS), a business design lab focused on solving real-world organisational challenges, and the Platform for Innovation and Venture Oriented Thinking (PiVOT), which integrates design thinking, advanced strategy, and technology to develop validated business solutions.
The 20-month PGP YL programme is designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals, building strong foundations in business, technology, and leadership.
The inaugural cohort has an average age of 23 years and was selected through a highly competitive admissions process.
Women constitute 50 per cent of the class, with students representing all major regions of India, bringing diverse academic and professional backgrounds to the programme.
