After 1947, the Government of independent India focused on the development of indigenous science and technology. As a technology base was being created, it became clear that the country needed to simultaneously augment management talent and resources. This led to the creation of the Indian Institutes of Management in the country. The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore was established in 1973.

Mr T A Pai agreed to be the first chairman. N S Ramaswamy, who was then director of NITIE, was appointed the first director. Considerable preliminary work was done, and the new institute was inaugurated by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister, on 28 October, 1973.

The institute was started in St. Joseph's College of Commerce, and some other buildings, which were rented. A number of difficulties were encountered, but were fairly well-handled. The most important difficulty faced was the reluctance of public sector institutions to appoint the graduates who emerged from the IIMB despite their orientation towards the public sector.

The land offered by the state government was selected on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore and given free of cost to IIMB.

Stein, Doshi and Bhalla were appointed as architects and very good plans were prepared.

Mr N S Ramaswamy as the first director did considerable work for the organization of the institute. Professor Philip handled some other problems like labour discipline and related matters. Dr K R S Murthy succeeded Professor Philip. He worked during the period 1992 to 1997 and has been mainly responsible for building an institute of excellence. It has been a steady tale of considerable achievement.

The intention to cater to the needs of the public sector could not be fulfilled. So, gradually the institute started to meet the changed demands of the Indian situation. By 1991, the ideas of development also changed in the country, and liberalization and globalisation were accepted as the need of the hour, which had its own effect on the manner in which the IIMB has functioned over the past 7-8 years. This cannot be considered a deflection from the original intention. It is an organic change brought about by the situation, which if anything, shows the institute's maturity to adapt to the demands of the times.

The campus has developed well. A large number of trees have been planted and a pleasant atmosphere created. The library is very well planned. The classrooms and the dormitories all conform to the master plan.

An IIMB product is bound to be good material, trained well, with the basics of good citizenship nailed in place. This is very much in keeping with the aim of the institution: To be a center of excellence, select the best, turn out first-rate professionals and responsible citizens and expect them to function well.
