IIMB Oral History Narratives

The IIMB Oral History Narratives project is a recounting of the history of the institute through the memories and accounts of people who were part of its journey at various stages, and who contributed to its growth in their own way.  Each interview – either video or audio -- is about an hour long, and is stored in the IIMB Archives. Snippets from the interviews, presenting a selection of topics and  views, are presented below.  

Transcripts of the full-length interviews and the snippets are stored at the IIMB Archives and are accessible via email, subject to conditions. (email id: archives@iimb.ac.in)

This is an ongoing project and the Archives aims to be a repository of diverse voices – of former faculty, board members, alumni, staff, and others associated with the institute.

A playlist of the video snippets is available on this link.

Note: Some of the oral history interviews were recorded remotely and may have audio and video inconsistencies, or unclear reproduction. However, these issues do not detract from the authenticity and significance of the content presented. We encourage viewers to focus on the insights shared by the speakers.

As with oral history narratives, the interviews reflect the interviewee’s memory and subjective understanding of past events. While the interviewee and interviewer are supported by prompts about events and issues identified through archival research, the interviews neither represent the official position of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore nor are they endorsed by the institute.

We suggest the use of headphones for better audio experience.
