About us

The Indian economy with its mammoth growth is headed towards becoming the top three economies of the world. In the next few years, India would have answers to its most-pressing questions on poverty and corruption. By achieving this, India will be a solution-provider to the world.

Nonetheless, the very existence of today’s India is rooted in its greatest leaders from Gandhi to Buddha, whose global impact was without the help of the internet.

The concept of Satyam indicates that if we pursue truth diligently, we have a greater chance of encountering Reality. Nityam is about sustainability: the ability to nurture, support and endure. Purnam is wholeness referring to harmony and fulfilment.


The belief in this trinity has positioned India as a change-agent since Indian leaders thrive on being known as realized beings by embracing the spirit of sustainability and reverence for life.

The three crucial elements of Indian thought: Satyam (Truth), Nityam (Sustainability) and Purnam (Wholeness) are capable enough to influence and impact the world in the present century.

Conversations on globalization have for a long time been synonymous with westernization. Indian thought does have a lot to contribute to such conversations. The intellectual heritage, rich traditions and innovative knowledge systems of India make it ideally suited to take a lead role in dealing with what will be an increasingly dynamic future in the globalized world.

India has been instrumental in revolutionizing lives through its timeless ideas. To Arjuna, seeking direction in the battle of Kurukshetra, to Mandela seeking true freedom and dignity, to the Beatles seeking purpose and meaningfulness, and to Vivekananda seeking inspiration, India has provided succor to all who sought.

In line with the above, the conclave on ‘Globalizing Indian Thought’ is designed to offer an opportunity for inquisitive and keen thinkers across professions and vocations to deliberate on the ageless Indian ideas converging into a plethora of creative platforms.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT KOZHIKODE

Spread over about 100 acres of land, the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) is the 5th IIM to be established by Government of India as an Institute of National Importance. IIMK takes the pride of being one of picturesque and oxy-rich campuses in India. IIM Kozhikode is located on two hillocks 15 kilometres east of Kozhikode city. Kozhikode is a quaint little city on the west coast of India with a history of more than two thousand years.

In ancient days, this city was a major port acting as the hub of trade between the west and the east. Greeks, Chinese and Arabs frequented Kozhikode to source the exotic spices like pepper and cardamom. Vasco Da Gama - the famous Portuguese explorer - touched the Indian shores at Kozhikode in the year 1498 opening up a sea route to India for the European nations.

Kozhikode has an international airport with flights connecting to other major Indian cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Delhi. Kozhikode also has excellent connectivity to major cities in the Middle East like Dubai, Abu Dhabi , Sharjah, Doha, Baharin, and Muscat . IIM Kozhikode is just 45 minutes by car from the International airport. Cochin International Airport(www.cial.aero) is another major airport just 170 kilometres away (4 hours by road) with excellent connectivity to major cities in India and abroad. Kozhikode is connected by rail to major cities in India.
