Why you should recruit at IIM Calcutta

Leadership and Innovation

IIM Calcutta, established in 1962, is India's first B-school and is one of the premier business schools of Asia. Our mission is to develop outstanding business leaders who go on to contribute to the well - being of society. Looking back over the past few years, there have been dramatic shifts in the global marketplace for managerial talent. IIM Calcutta strives to follow the path of constant evolution and change in training and instruction methods to cater to the dynamic needs of today's corporate world. Our commitment to management education focuses on building a deep understanding of business, teaching with skill and passion, and communicating ideas that have power in practice. IIMC does not roll out custom-made/assembly-line managers. Our students are trained to be proactive individuals who make a difference to the world around them, in their own unique ways. We train and develop world - class leaders, not merely managers. Our students inculcate an enviable combination of analytical, quantitative and qualitative skills, which help them to grasp the crux of business situations and tackle them effectively.

We at IIMC believe that the future will be driven by technology. The world of business as we know it has taken a 180 degree swivel. Business today is about dynamic young men and women biting the bullet and taking risks as never before. There has been a paradigm shift in the way we perceive business from your friendly neighborhood grocery store to online malls on the net! We're moving towards convergence - and the future belongs to those people who can successfully integrate and synergism the two worlds. The future belongs to ideas, and the people who are driven by these ideas. Today, you just need to have a winning idea and the vision and enterprise to see it to fruition. This is precisely what we mould our students to be. We have the latest in technology, and the best minds to use it. IIM Calcutta is the first Business School in the Asia Pacific region to function through an extranet set up by students.
