Once an IISBian, always an IISBian
Our graduates study and work across India, the UK and beyond — and they carry Cotonou with them. These are their words.
Our Community
A network for life
Alumni are an integral part of the IISBenin community. They keep the sense of belonging alive, strengthen the school's reputation and form a network of professionals connected by a shared beginning in Cotonou.
Many return to mentor current students — sharing career paths, offering advice and showing what's possible after Grade 10 at IISBenin.
In Their Words
Where they are now
“My experience at IISB was nothing short of a fairy-tale, where diversity and academic excellence coexisted in perfect harmony. Some of the best teachers I’ve ever had are at IISB, and they helped me grow not just academically but as a person. One of my favourite memories was being elected Red House Captain at just eleven years old.”
B. Ruthvik ReddyFormer Red House Captain“I studied at IISB from Grade 2 to Grade 8 and developed a strong overall foundation thanks to the lovely teachers. Skills like public speaking and presentation that I picked up from assemblies, speech competitions and debates mean I can now pitch business ideas to large companies with ease.”
Gaurav VasnaniBusiness Management, Loughborough University, UK“IISB is a place where diversity and academics go hand in hand. The teachers have always been supportive and encouraging to every student. I developed skills like public speaking, debates and presentations which now help me in many aspects of college life. Being elected Yellow House Captain is my most memorable moment.”
Niharika KohliBBA LL.B (Hons.) Corporate Law, UPES Dehradun“I consider IISB my first exposure to the realities of the world. It gave me knowledge of new things and helped me make great friends with whom I have an unbreakable bond till today. IISB will forever remain close to me.”
Suhani KohliPsychology graduate, aspiring Clinical Psychologist“IISB taught me how to face the darkest fears and how to be a better person. I will forever cherish the values, discipline, boldness and courage it gave me. I’ll never fail to visit school every time I come to Benin — once an IISBian, always an IISBian.”
