GBS - From Ideas to Enterprises, Shaping Tomorrow

GIFT Business School (GBS) has emerged as a model institution, dedicated to nurturing a new generation of business leaders who are innovative, ethical, and deep-rooted with an entrepreneurial mindset. These leaders are committed to driving social good and contributing meaningfully toward Pakistan’s economic vision and the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

More than just an academic institution, GBS is a catalyst for positive change. Since its establishment in 2002, its guiding motto has enabled the school to sustain a distinctive leadership role in both education and community development.

The core mission of GBS is to provide modern, relevant, and impactful business education to the youth of the Gujranwala division, covering the urban centers of Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, and their surrounding rural areas.

As the first business school in the region, GBS initially offered MBA and BBA programs. Over time, it has responded to evolving industry demands by introducing cutting-edge programs in Finance, Accounting, and Economics — ensuring alignment with global trends and market needs.

From the outset, GBS has been distinguished by its high-caliber faculty, comprising graduates from prestigious national and international universities. This commitment to academic excellence quickly earned GBS a place among the top business schools in the HEC’s Business Category listings.

At GBS, we believe in shaping a brighter, prosperous tomorrow by empowering each student to achieve personal aspirations and become an active force for societal development.

Welcome to GIFT Business School. I am honored and grateful to serve the School of Business as its fifth dean. The school provides the best educational and research experience in the region in the fields of business administration, entrepreneurship, accounting, finance, economics, and commerce. Building on the universityʼs vision of converting knowledge into practical experience, the school offers a competency-based learning experience whereby our students gain knowledge of their relevant fields, develop skills by applying knowledge through a variety of practical activities, explore their inner selves to sharpen their moral judgment, and learn how to work with others by showing respect to the intellectual and behavioral diversities. We prepare students to make a difference by delivering value to society.

The school not only focuses on the industry needs of employing skillful professionals but also actively creating learning opportunities for the students to generate new business ideas and converting them into viable and scalable businesses. Drawing from the rich diversity and expertise of the region in entrepreneurship, our young entrepreneurs can bring innovation to markets through their business ideas and can improve the well-being of society through creating more jobs and economic activity.

University education is a long-term investment having serious implications for your future. Therefore, joining the right place is the first key step in that direction.
