About

Artha is ISB’s flagship finance festival that brings together an international community of business leaders from the world of finance, academia, thought leaders, policy experts and the brightest minds from the top B-schools across the world. Artha has a strong legacy of 10+ years and is a platform that connects the diverse ISB community of 11,600+ alumni and students with 50+ corporates. Artha has hosted eminent industry leaders such as Mr. Deepak Parekh, Mrs. Arundhati Bhattacharya, Mr. Adi Godrej and Mr. U.K. Sinha, Mr. Sanjay Nayyar and Mr. Nimesh Shah. 

The theme for Artha 2020 is ‘Reimagine, Rebuild, Reclaim’. The event is an attempt to decipher how individuals, businesses and governments are impacted by a rapidly evolving world. It also aims to discover reimagined business models that can drive sustainable growth in the future. The theme will build on how finance, along with technology, can be leveraged to rebuild stronger and more inclusive communities. With current times acting as a tailwind for innovation and technological adoption, Artha seeks to unearth the secret to reclaim the buck. This year, Artha will be a virtual finance conclave with participation from students of leading business schools.
