CARVING ITS OWN NICHE

Breaking the traditional B-school mould, IIM-Indore champions social impact alongside academic excellence and a unique approach to placements

- Rahul Noronha

As business schools go, the Indian Institute of Management-Indore goes about its business in a rather different way. The institute, as its administrators suggest, has three elements in its mission statement: to be contextually relevant, have worldclass academic standards, and produce socially conscious leaders. It is the third element that makes IIM-Indore stand out in the crowd. Students are consciously pushed towards addressing challenges faced by the country and thereby contribute to nation-building.
