History[edit]

In 1972, a committee headed by Ravi J. Matthai, seeing the rising demand for graduates of the first two IIMs namely IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad, recommended the need to have two more IIMs. While the first two IIMs were oriented towards the private sector, it was decided that the new institutions shall be oriented towards public sector to cater to its growing needs of management graduates. The Institute at Bangalore was consequently set up next year, designed to cater exclusively to the needs of public sector enterprises.[3] For the proposed institute, the Government of Karnataka offered 100 acres (40 ha) of land free of cost and a contribution of ₹3 million (US$43,000). T. A. Pai and N. S. Ramaswamy were appointed as chairman and director respectively. The institute was inaugurated by Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, on 28 October 1973. The institute was started in St. Joseph's College of Commerce, and some other buildings, which were rented on the Langford Road. The new institute came up at Bannerghatta Road in South Bangalore.[4]

Motto[edit]

The motto derived from Sanskritतेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु (pronounced as tejasvi nāvadhītamastu) is an extract from the Shanti Mantra recited in Taittiriya Upanishad, Katha Upanishad, Mandukya Upanishad and Shvetashvatara Upanishad. The motto translates to Let our study be enlightening.[5]

Academics[edit]

Entrance to the Main Block at IIMB

Prior to 2018, IIM Bangalore awarded diplomas instead of degrees because IIMs were not set up as universities through an act of parliament but as societies under the Societies Act.[6] The Indian Institutes of Management Act, 2017 enacted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in December 2017 declared IIMs as Institutes of National Importance, thereby allowing IIMs to award degrees to their students instead of diplomas.[6] Consequently, in 2018, IIM Bangalore became the first IIM to award MBA degree to the graduates of the Post Graduate Programme in Management.[6]

National Stock Exchange Limited Investor Protection Fund Trust (NSE IPFT) and IIM Bangalore (IIMB) jointly launched the Platform for Investor Education (PIE), at IIM Bangalore, here today. The launch of this unique platform is a result of synergy between NSE's Investor Protection Fund Trust (NSE IPFT) and IIM Bangalore's Centre for Capital Markets and Risk Management (CCMRM).

NSE IPFT promotes research in the field of capital markets and carries out diverse activities in the area of investor education.

The Platform for Investor Education (PIE) was jointly launched by Vikram Limaye, MD and CEO, NSE and Prof G. Raghuram, Director, IIM Bangalore.

'This unique digital investor education and awareness offering reinforces our commitment to spreading capital market awareness in an easy to understand and simple to use format to public at large. Content is available on demand allowing investors to access whenever they have time and wherever they are located,' Vikram Limaye, MD and CEO of NSE said while addressing the gathering of students and alumni of IIMB, professionals and academics.

'Top notch experts in the field will work in making the offering relevant for entire spectrum of investors from first time investors to experienced investors,' he added.

Prof. S.G. Badrinath, Chair of the Centre for Capital Markets and Risk Management at IIMB and the Canara Bank Chair in Banking and Finance at IIMB, said: 'The Platform for Investor Education at IIMB will develop, disseminate and continually manage investor education content that is product neutral and demand driven. The material will incorporate the latest in digital technology'.

According to a statement from IIMB, there are several unique features that can be attributed to the Platform for Investor Education:

First, IIMB's educational materials would be product-neutral, unlike many offered by the other financial services entities.

Second, the content would be developed by experienced faculty who are cognizant of financial literacy efforts and will reflect current developments in financial markets.

Third, the materials will incorporate the latest in animation and data visualization technology, and will be made available on multiple platforms to actively engage different cohorts of potential investors.

Fourth, the Centre for Capital Markets and Risk Management aims to make this initiative much more than just large-scale online education, supplementing the videos with frequently updated web content as well as by conducting periodic investor forums at different locations.

'NSE has pioneered investor education programs that run through the length and the breadth of the country. Last year, NSE conducted over 2,400 investor seminars which were attended by more than one lakh and fifty thousand investors. In the current financial year NSE has plans to organize 2500 investor awareness programs covering more 500 districts across the nation,' said the statement.
