ISH will be able to further strengthen its portfolio of programs with opportunities for students to study semesters abroad, start their studies in India and finish them in another institution of the network, and join new programs including an MBA at Les Roches, Switzerland.

Partnering with Sommet Education will enable us to strengthen our offerings, expand our presence pan India and in neighbouring countries, and be part of Sommet’s prestigious network of 18 campuses across 8 countries, and 60,000 influential alumni. We will also be able to further support industry demand for hospitality leaders by bringing two of the world’s best brands in hospitality management and culinary education to India.”

Together, Sommet Education and Indian School of Hospitality target strong developments for the two brands.

With this alliance, École Ducasse will offer programs in culinary and pastry arts aimed at young students and professionals. This marks the debut of École Ducasse in India as the two partners intend to develop a network of culinary schools in the region over the next three years.

Further, the Swiss institution Les Roches, founded in 1954, with campuses in Switzerland, Spain, and China will enrich ISH’s undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

In addition to academic and research exchange and workshops, thanks to mirrored curriculums and synergies, students will be able to study semesters abroad and benefit from various pathways within undergraduate and postgraduate programs throughout the Les Roches network of institutions.

Students will be offered opportunities to study at Les Roches campuses in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, Marbella, Spain and Shanghai, China. ISH’s postgraduate students will also be able to pursue an MBA at the Les Roches campus in Switzerland, or a master’s degree in Spain. The alliance includes plans for further expansion in the region, starting with the addition of a second campus in India within the next three years.

Sommet Education CEO Benoît-Etienne Domenget concluded:We are delighted to welcome ISH into the Sommet family of world-class hospitality education institutes. Together, we will be better able to address the industry’s need for specialized talent and expertise.

Hospitality management and culinary arts aspirants in India and neighboring countries will now be able to benefit from our combined expertise and knowledge and explore international career opportunities. This development brings two truly global education brands,
