Spread across 100 acres of land in South Bengaluru-India's high technology capital, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) with its world-class infrastructure is known to facilitate the most sought environment for management studies, academics, and learning, through its cutting-edge researches in all management functions. "One ingredient in the doctoral recipe was my backbreaking effort, but an equally important ingredient was the supportive environment in which I found myself once I entered the program. I joined the program as a mid-career professional ­ older than the average age of the cohort, and was somewhat nervous about getting along and working with younger students (and in some cases, professors). If I were to describe the role that IIM Bangalore played in fulfilling the doctoral dreams of this village girl, I would simply say `you cared'. Everyone at IIMB cared. And they demonstrated that in more ways than I can describe", says Anjana Karumathil, an alumnus of IIMB.
