Prof. Chatterjee, in his address, congratulated members of the IIMK community and said, “IIMK has come a long way in these 27 years to now become an institution of national eminence and global impact. The year 2023 has been special for us as the institute upset the long-standing ‘ABC’ order of IIMs to rejig it as ‘ABK’ in NIRF rankings, and also a year in which IIMK made its debut in Financial Times Rankings. Greater challenges await us and with our vision of Globalizing Indian Thought deeply rooted in Authenticity (Satyam), Nityam (Sustainability) and Purnam (Fulfilment); IIMK’s remarkable and innovative journey will continue to rewrite history. As an institute, we are committed to playing our part in realising the Government of India’s Vision for 2047 – a developed and self-reliant India. A landmark year in which independent India will complete a glorious 100 years and IIMKozhikode completes 50 years in service to the nation.”

The Institute also felicitated six senior faculty and staff members who completed 15 years of service at IIMK and thanked them for their invaluable contribution.
