More than 4500 BIM Alumni spread around the globe are significantly contributing to corporations, academics, and society today. Former Indian Union Minister Bharat Ratna, the Late Shri C Subramaniam, was instrumental in setting up this B School. He was motivated by starting a School of Excellence in Management that would be organically linked with an industrial complex. He believed that just as a medical school needed to be attached to a hospital to be effective as a teaching institution, a Management School had to be linked with industry. Accordingly, the institute was set up in collaboration with BHEL within its sprawling Tiruchirappalli campus. In addition to its graduate program, BIM has established multiple Centres of Excellence, including the Centre for Operations Excellence, Financial Trading and Analytics Centre (FINTRAC) with Bloomberg Terminals, Real-Time Contextual Marketing Labs, and Centre for Sustainable Development to advance sustainable living by applying contemporary management insights (www.bim.edu).
