Vanguard Business School (VBS) was founded in 2010 with a bold vision to create frontline managers who can tackle real-world challenges and thrive in a fast-changing corporate landscape. Established by six visionary alumni of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other top institutions, Vanguard redefined traditional management education by focusing on hands-on, practical learning. Our mission has always been clear – equip students with the skills, confidence, and mindset to make an immediate impact in the business world and launch successful careers from day one.

In 2018, Vanguard entered a new phase of growth under the leadership of Mr. Karthik Iyer, a distinguished entrepreneur and an IIT-IIM alumnus himself. With his global perspective and transformative vision, Karthik reshaped Vanguard’s approach to align with the ever-evolving needs of the corporate world. Alongside Maj Gen George (Retd.), a celebrated leader from the Indian Army, they introduced innovative programs that focus on personal growth, creating a winning mindset, and delivering industry-driven experiences. Together, they elevated Vanguard into a hub of dynamic, future-ready professionals.
