Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru, Business school in Bangalore, India
The Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru is a business school in the southern part of the city that sits on a large campus with stone buildings and gardens designed by architect B.V. Doshi. The site covers roughly 100 acres (40 hectares) and combines teaching spaces with residential areas for students.
The institution began operating in 1973 as the country's third management institute, initially based at St. Joseph's College before relocating to its current Bannerghatta Road site. The facility later expanded to accommodate more doctoral students and international exchange programs.
The name Bangalore appears here in its British spelling, while local students often prefer the Kannada form Bengaluru. The campus shows open plazas and reading areas used by students for group discussions and informal exchanges.
Visitors should note that the campus covers a wide area and requires walking to explore, with some paths under open sun. The main entrance is located on Bannerghatta Road, and the buildings are spread across multiple levels, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
This school mentors newer management institutes in other cities such as Trichy and Visakhapatnam, sharing expertise and teaching materials with them. The collaboration helps new institutes build their programs and administration.
