Why do IIM A, B, C, and XLRI find it challenging to compete with ISB's executive program, despite ISB being relatively new?

So, a friend at ISB mentioned that ISB Hyderabad's success in the executive program isn't just about competing with IIMs and XLRI. It's more about their core strength in this area, while IIMs and XLRI are known for their 2-year MBA and PGDM programs.

Here's a quick look at why ISB Hyderabad has been successful:

They focus on people with at least two years of work experience.
The shorter duration of the executive program makes it popular.
Traditional MBA programs often feel like an extension of undergrad, with lots of classroom learning.
ISB Hyderabad has created a more affordable alternative to the American MBA.
Collaborations with schools like Kellogg's help meet the demand for a world-class MBA.
They've significantly impacted the Indian executive MBA market.
The program is about half the price of American MBA programs.
ISB's program is just 11 months, compared to the 24-month MBA programs at other institutes.
For fresh grads, IIMs are usually the top choice with their standard 2-year MBA. IIMs excel at training those with less experience. However, IIMs are now offering executive MBA programs, but they're not their main focus.

Even though ISB is pricier than IIMs, working professionals often prefer it for the reasons above. ISB's core focus on executive education gives it a competitive edge that IIMs and XLRI struggle to match.
