IIM Kozhikode to create Museum of Indian Business History

Updated on: Tuesday, November 30, 2010

The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM-K), one of India's premier Business Schools, is all set to create a Museum of Indian Business History. This museum will house business related historical artefacts, objects, sculptures, models, photographs, documents, illustrations, etc. This initiative is unique, monumental and a significant step in acknowledging the contribution of Indian Business Leaders in the making of Corporate India.

The museum aims to inspire the aspiring business entrepreneurs in the country and show them the path to success through innovative ideas, diligence and perseverance. IIM-K has also requested around 100 Chief Executive Officers and leaders of major business houses including the Tatas, Ambanis and Birlas for their humble contribution to this museum. The Institute will formally open the museum on its Foundation Day in 2011. The estimated cost of the project is around one crore.

Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, IIM-K Director said, "Acknowledging the landmark achievements that has been scored by esteemed corporates over the past several decades, and the invaluable contributions that have been given to our country, it is our earnest wish that these corporates participate in the making of this museum, by contributing some significant historical objects and artefacts for which due acknowledgement will be attributed to the organisation.”

He further added, “It is our endeavour to consolidate and conserve the rare treasure of India's invaluable wealth, the memorabilia of Indian Business History for our posterity.”
