From the US to India: ISB Alumnus Thomas Hyland’s Journey in Finance, Startups & Impact

In this episode of Impact Chronicles, we feature our alumnus Thomas Hyland from the PGP Class of 2010, who Co-founded Aspada after his graduation. Believing in India’s potential for impact and growth, Thomas made the unconventional move from the United States to India. What began as exploration soon turned into deep immersion in India’s startup and investment ecosystem. He is working at the intersection of finance, entrepreneurship, and impact to build and back businesses tackling real challenges across sectors. Choosing to pursue his management education at ISB was also a deliberate step, not just for a world-class education, but as a way to anchor himself in India and be part of its growth journey. Join us as he is in conversation with DNV Kumara Guru, Senior Director – Alumni Engagement at ISB on understanding India, investing in inclusion, and engaging deeply with its informal economy. #ISB #ISBAlumni #ImpactChronicles
