Feb, 13 : The Indian School of Business (ISB) has announced the DSP Scholarship Programme for students of its Post Graduate Programme in Management for Young Leaders (PGP YL), supported by a multi-year CSR gift from DSP Asset Managers Private Limited (DSPAM). The need-cum merit scholarship will provide 100% tuition fee waivers to recipients over multiple years, beginning with the current academic year.
Under the DSP Scholarship Programme, two PGP YL students from the current class will be supported, followed subsequently by five students each year. This sustained commitment reflects DSPAM’s focus on enabling access to high-quality management education for talented young individuals at an early stage of their academic and professional journeys.
The MoU for this scholarship was exchanged in the presence of Aditi Kothari Desai, Chairperson, DSP Asset Managers Private Limited; Dean Madan Pillutla; Kalpen Parekh, Managing Director & CEO, DSP Mutual Fund; and DNV Kumara Guru, Senior Director – Advancement, Alumni Engagement and External Relations, ISB.
The PGP YL is ISB’s early-entry management programme, designed to nurture high-potential students through a rigorous, globally benchmarked curriculum and immersive learning experiences. By easing financial constraints, the DSP Scholarship Programme will enable recipients to focus fully on their academic development, leadership growth, and long-term aspirations.
Commenting on the initiative, Aditi Kothari Desai, Chairperson, DSP Asset Managers Private Limited, said
“At DSP, we strongly believe that leadership development begins early, and that access to high-quality education should never be limited by financial constraints. Through this multi-year scholarship program with ISB, we are investing in young leaders at a formative stage of their journey, enabling them to focus on learning, self-discovery, and long-term impact. This initiative reflects our commitment to building a strong and inclusive foundation for future leadership in India.”
Adding to this, Ravi Patodi, Head – Human Resources, DSP Asset Managers, said
“The scholarship program with ISB reflects DSP’s long-standing belief that access to quality education can shape long-term outcomes for individuals and for institutions. We see this as an investment in potential at a formative stage of leadership development. Our continued engagement with educational initiatives, including our support for the MVBS Hostel in Dadar which provides boarding and scholarship assistance to college students, stems from the same philosophy enabling talent with continuity, care, and a long-term perspective.”
Welcoming the support from DSPAM, Professor Madan Pillutla, Dean, Indian School of Business, said
The DSP Scholarship Program adds to ISB’s growing portfolio of merit and need-based scholarships for the recently launched PGP YL, reinforcing the School’s commitment to inclusion and access as it prepares the next generation of responsible business leaders.
