IFIM Renamed to Jagdish Sheth School of Management

October 21, 2020: With an idea to professionalise the governance of the B-School, Chairman of the IFIM Business School, Bangalore Sanjay Padode decided to change the name of the institution after the name of Padma Bhushan Awardee Professor Jagdish Sheth, known globally for his scholarly contributions in consumer behaviour, relationship marketing, competitive strategy and geopolitical analysis. This is one of the unusual cases where an organisation is designated to recognise a globally-renowned Indian scholar and is not concentrated on winning any award or grant. This is indeed a rare situation where, as Chairman of the Board, the Trustee/ Promoter has surrendered his role to push the B-school forward on its path to globalisation.

Professor Sheth has over 50 years of rich academic experience of teaching and research at the University of Southern California, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Columbia University, MIT and Emory University. He has been an advisor to numerous companies including Whirlpool, Motorola, AT&T, WIPRO, Aditya Birla group, E&Y, Hughes Corporation, among others and has published numerous books and award-winning articles. In repositioning the country for the future, he was an adviser to the government of Singapore. He has also been the US government's policy adviser on the future of the telecommunications sector. The Government of India, honouring his contributions, awarded him the Padma Bhushan in 2020.
