Heritage Business School
Heritage Business School
Inspired by the noble cause of education and philanthropic zeal, a group of twenty-
two like-minded industrialists in Kolkata established in 1990 the Kalyan Bharti
Trust (KBT), a charitable educational establishment, to promote and provide higher
education in the country and, in particular the State of West Bengal. KBT founded
The Heritage School and Heritage Institute of Technology, both in 2001, to create
a centre of excellence in school and technical education respectively in Eastern
India. The Trust also established The Heritage Academy in 2007 to provide technical
knowledge in management and technology in the area of undergraduate education.
Management Education Centre (MEC) was set up in 2003 with an aim to be a leader
in management education in the country and to be at par with the best in the world. In
2013 MEC has become a separate distinct entity as Heritage Business School (HBS).
HBS has been fortunate to attract the best possible faculties and has one of the finest
infrastructures in West Bengal.
A harmonious integration of traditional values with modern outlook is the guiding
principle behind the development of the academic environment that constitutes the
basic philosophy of the Heritage Group of Institutions.
To compete with global benchmarking of excellence through efforts to prepare dynamic and caring citizens
To encourage and foster quality in daily practices in different areas of activity
To imbibe self-evaluation and continuous correction
To prepare dynamic and caring citizens to meet the challenges of a global society while retaining the traditional values.
To be a “Centre of Excellence” in education which, in keeping with the rich heritage of India, will simultaneously stress upon
development of Body, Mind and Soul and endeavour to create compassionate, responsible and innovative global citizens,
who are committed to the development of India.

Why MBA from Heritage?
Message from the Chairman, Kalyan Bharti TrustWelcome to Heritage Business School (HBS) Kolkata.
As you commence your studies here, do remember that college education is not entirely academic. It extends beyond the classrooms, laboratories and workshops to campus organizations, seminars and meetings, cultural and social activities and sporting events.
I do hope that you will take pride in your college. Members of our faculty are known for their energy, academic achievements, teaching abilities and devotion to duty. Our standards are challenging and we are dedicated to helping you meet those standards. We will judge our success as an institution by how well you succeed in realizing your potential as a student and in your professional career later.
Now that you have chosen HBS, I believe that our combination of well experienced management, faculty and staff will play a significant role in helping you achieve the very best in life.
H. K. Chaudhary
Kalyan Bharti trust was started with the mission to turn the dream to be successful into reality. At the core was the aim to set up an institution of excellence in Kolkata. We believe that the students of Bengal deserve education that should be at par with the best. I am really proud that we have achieved much since the inception of HBS in 2003.
Hard work, steadfast commitment and self-belief on the part of the management and staff ensure that the Heritage Group of Institutions reaches the highest standards of excellence. We have also tried to imbibe in every student traditional Indian Values so that they grow up to become responsible citizens of our great country.
I am sure that in another few years our students will be at the top of the world, achieving glory for the Institute as well as for the country.
So let us all work together to fulfill our desired goal.

Message from the Vice Chairman, Kalyan Bharti Trust Message from the Director, Heritage Business SchoolThe world is moving towards a new vision of ‘holistic globalisation’.

HBS offers you one of the best infrastructure in the Eastern region, wealth of resource opportunities, a dynamic curriculum, involved and proactive faculty and a forum to interact with the brightest minds from the corporate world.

Professor (Dr.) Aloke Kr. Sen
Heritage Business School has been established with the belief that it can best fulfill the needs of quality education and specialized professional training of the new generation to become competent business leaders of the 21st Century.
Globalizations has compelled nations to shed their inhibitions, and take advantage of the abundant multi-dimensional opportunities available.
However, not every nation or business can effectively operate and achieve the desired success in today's global market. What they need are visionary business leaders who possess adequate skills in analytical techniques, strategic planning, decision making and problem solving.
We, at Heritage Business School, are committed to accomplishing the task of not only enhancing the students' academic qualifications and career prospects but also their overall character and perception, in order to transform them into the much-needed business leaders of tomorrow.

help students to help themselves through exploration of their capacities and potentials, and to create a feeling of self confidence,
which will give them a more positive outlook on life. Students talk in confidence to the full-time Counsellor about anything that

Summer Internship
The summer training program enables the MBA students to get a first hand experience of the business environment in functional
areas of their interest. The summer internship is intended to be an intensive learning experience for the students. It gives them an
opportunity to assimilate their theoretical understanding of the general principles of management gained in the first year to real life
business situations. The companies get an opportunity to evaluate the students for further employment.
Companies usually define the scope of the project based on their current requirements. Typically, the project has a quantifiable
outcome that can be measured in the end. Student internships are generally defined for a period of 8 weeks during the months of
May and June.

The whole world is witnessing the impact of global warming which is due to excess carbon emission and is causing ill effect on
the life and health of people all over the globe. Solar plant is one of the suitable ways to reduce carbon emission in the atmosphere
caused by fuel generated energy sources.
India is endowed with solar radiation with irradiation of 4-7 kWh per day, per square meter and enjoys close to 300 sunny days
annually. Solar plant is clean, silent, limitless and free from pollution. Solar power plant has 25 years of life and produces energy
during peak demand time with minimum operating cost. Solar plants are modular in nature, easily scalable, can be built relatively
fast and range from a few kW to MW scale.
To have a pollution free environment and to meet the scarcity of electricity, the Heritage Group of Institutions have taken a
step forward by installing a 100 kWp Stand Alone Roof Top Solar power plant at the Heritage Complex with the assistance of
WBREDA and MNRE, New Delhi, which is first of its kind in the State of West Bengal.
Concern for Environment Future PlansTo meet the global needs, the Institute is planning to add few more areas of specialization in MBA programme in Infrastructure
Management, Retail Management, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Leadership Management, Project Management and
Entrepreneurship. The Institute also plans to offer Strategic Leadership Programmes for Corporate and Business Houses focusing in
the areas of Human Resource, Marketing & Finance.
The Institute is also in the process of finalizing short and medium term collaborative programmes with Foreign Universities and
Business Schools along with student and faculty exchange programmes with universities of International repute. To strengthen
research activities, The Institute is also planning to have collaborative Doctoral Research jointly with West Bengal University of
Technology and Foreign Universities.

The supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles.
The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies of your enemies without even having to fight them.
The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence,
regardless of his chosen field of endeavour.
There are no speed limits on the road to excellence.
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

"Education is not the amount of information
that is put in your brain and runs riot there,
undigested, all your life.
We must have life-building, man-making,
character-making assimilation of ideas."
– Swami Vivekananda
