Since we opened our admissions window a couple of months ago, the response has been overwhelming, both qualitatively and quantitatively. We are eager to welcome the next generation of students and provide them with a future-focused, transformative education that will prepare them not just for their first jobs, but for their entire lives and careers”

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Aman Aditya Sachdev, Director and Country Head – India of Lausanne Hospitality Consulting, commented “Lausanne Hospitality Consulting is committed to developing talent worldwide for the hospitality and service industries. The academic certification of Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) recognizes the best-in-class hospitality learning centers globally which follow the EHL education philosophy. We have been working closely with ISH for over a year now on all core areas of its educational philosophy, curricula design, administrative systems, facilities planning and faculty development; the positive outcomes of this association are now clearly visible. I am pleased to take note of the great strides that ISH has made under Mr. Puri’s leadership”.

The campus will be an amalgam of cutting-edge design, technology-enabled learning facilities and a state of the art culinary complex. The institute seamlessly blends academic spaces with student innovation and digital learning areas, food and beverage spaces and the culinary complex in a corporate campus setting. ISH has also adopted the international model for student housing moving away from the hostel concept and providing professionally managed student housing within the Vatika India Next township which is within easy access to the campus and provides the perfect live, study, and plays balance.

ISH will start with two core undergraduate programs in hospitality management and culinary arts and will begin to offer short duration programs in both culinary and executive education from early 2019.
