The IIMA Story

How was IIMA born? Who were the key players? What has made its name synonymous with success? Established in 1961, IIMA is the first Indian business school to achieve international recognition. In 2002, Economist Intelligence Unit’s list declared IIMA as the most selective management school in the world. And in 2011, IIMA was ranked at No. 7 in Financial Times’ global ranking of master’s in management programmes. In this well-researched book, Prafull Anubhai charts the journey of this premier institution from its inception: the construction of its iconic campus by American architect Louis Kahn, the policies and processes that set the benchmark, the exemplary leadership exhibited by its various chairmen and directors, and its vision and future challenges. The IIIMA Story weaves all the threads together to present a vivid history of an iconic institution that has shaped many lives.
