Founded in 1973, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore is a public business school that has been deemed an Institute of National Importance by an act of the Parliament of India.
You’d think that the Institution would be famous for being the campus featured in the hit Bollywood film 3 idiots, but instead, they are more well-known for having alumni that are some of the most ambitious and high achieving people.
Most of the ex-students of this institute have moved on to launch and manage some of the biggest brands in the country.
