About Vinod Gupta School of Management ( IIT Kharagpur)

Established in 1993, at a time when India had just broken its economic shackles to pave the way for its liberalization, the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSoM) was set up as the first school of management within the IIT system. It was established with an aim to develop managers with a strong technological background who will be leading tomorrow’s corporate behemoths on the path of advancement. The institute was founded by a distinguished alumnus & a life time Fellow of the Institute, Mr. Vinod Gupta, whose generous endowment of $ 2 Million was matched by liberal support from the Government of India.

The foundation stone of the School building was laid in 1994 by the then president of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma .The School moved to the new building in December of 1996.Over the years the school has moved beyond the sphere of regular MBA programme. The school regularly organizes a number of seminars, MDPs (Mangement Devolopment Programmes) and workshops for managers and other management teachers across the world. The School has to its credit many consultancy and sponsored projects which helped in the ultimate aim of social progress of the country. In a step to move beyond traditional borders, VGSoM tied up with the Royal Danish Embassy, Dhaka in 2000 to provide MDP programmes for mid-level managers in Bangladesh. Since then the institute has been regularly organising MDP programmes and seminars to cater various needs of industry.
