The Vinod Gupta School of Management was the first school of management to be setup within the IIT system. It was initiated by a distinguished alumnus & a Life Time Fellow of the Institute, Mr. Vinod Gupta, whose generous endowment was matched by liberal support from the Government of India. The founders felt that VGSOM could play a pioneering role in creating management schools within the IIT sys

tem and offered unique programmes blending management and technology that would develop managers who would be able to understand and appreciate both the critical technology related issues and their management implications. This original concept has now been vindicated by the setting up of management programmes in other IITs as well. Our vision is to develop as a centre of excellence in management education and research catering to the needs of organizations in different sectors of the economy with special emphasis on technology driven and knowledge based industries that are characterized by high degrees of globalization, dynamism, complexity and innovation.
