ISB's Founding PGP YL Cohort Completes Summer Placements

• McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Jefferies, Mastercard, HUL, ITC, Colgate-Palmolive, Amazon, and Aditya Birla Group among the top recruiters

The Indian School of Business (ISB) today announced the summer internship outcomes for the inaugural cohort (2025 – 2027) of its Post Graduate Programme in Management for Young Leaders (PGP YL).

The cohort, which averages 11 months of prior work experience - significantly lower than traditional MBA programmes - received over 175 internship offers from 38 companies across diverse sectors, with an average stipend of ₹3.2 lakh and the highest stipend of ₹7.3 lakh. Extensive participation from diverse sectors - consulting, banking and finance, FMCG, technology, conglomerates, manufacturing and other sectors - and the range of roles offered reflect strong industry confidence in the early-career management talent of the school.

Consulting Services emerged as the most prominent recruiting area, accounting for 47% of all offers. Accenture was the top recruiter in the sector with 37 offers. McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, and Boston Consulting Group collectively extended 19 offers to the cohort. Other leading consulting firms, including EY-Parthenon, PwC, and Deloitte USI, also participated in the process, offering roles focused on strategy, analytics, and business transformation.

Beyond consulting, placement outcomes spanned multiple sectors:

• Finance, Investment Advisory and Private Equity firms accounted for 19% of internships, with participation from Jefferies, Mastercard, Barclays, Sorin Investments, DSP Asset Managers, JM Financial, Motilal Oswal, and Axis Bank.
• The FMCG sector constituted 11% of offers. Organisations such as HUL, ITC, Colgate-Palmolive, Dabur, and Castrol recruited for roles in brand management and marketing strategy.
• Technology firms accounted for 10% of offers with participation from Amazon, Media.net, Practo, and Ola that largely hired for product management roles.
• Conglomerates constituted 7% of opportunities, with the Aditya Birla Group, Hinduja Group, Adani Enterprises, and Jindal offering positions spanning business operations, transformation, and strategy. The remaining 6% of roles spanned operations, strategy, and emerging technologies in Hero MotoCorp, Country Delight, William J Clinton Foundation, and Oyo Rooms.

Professor Deepa Mani, Deputy Dean, Academic Programmes, ISB, noted that the outcomes validate the founding premise of the programme. “This inaugural PGP YL cohort, with an average of just 11 months of work experience, has demonstrated that our programme provides students with not only increased knowledge, but grounding and practice in modern work environments that help them compete for strategic, high-impact roles in leading organisations,” she said. "The breadth of recruiters and the quality of roles reflect both the academic rigour of the programme and industry's recognition of what young talent can achieve with the right foundation. Our focus has been on building skills that translate directly to workplace performance: technology, data, analytical decision-making, and strategy implementation.”
