Dear Alum
Anusmaran, the annual global IIMB Alumni meet , starts next weekend . With our alumni spread far and wide across the world, this is an event that tries to bring together the past and present , a day filled with nostalgia and pride to be associated with IIMB . Anusmaran'09 will be held between 16th to 23rd May at 11 following cities New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore . An excellent platform to meet old buddies , make new ones , rekindle relationship with the campus , engage with students , faculty , industry champions and last but not least to have a great time together.
Planning for Anusmaran'09 started at the alumni office , student alumni bodies and city chapters few months back. Historically , it has been done on a single day which for this year was planned on 16th. But due to the election results in India clashing with 16th , and local chapter preferences along with challenges in getting venues on same day , we have an entire week of celebration. The city and venue details are at http://www.iimbaa.org/images/Anusmaran_Cities.JPG . Do connect with your chapter office bearers at http://www.iimbaa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72&Itemid=111 for detailed agenda , time and other details.
A major thrust for this year is to provide lot of details on whats happening at IIMB campus and our growth plans. We want to engage all alumni in this phase of growth. Students will be calling you personally to ensure maximum participation. We have created a vibrant logo for Anusmaran with the help of a professional agency run by one of senior alums. And guess what , we have 7 sponsors – elite names from the industry , supporting the event . Citibank and Golf Retreat have taken up diamond sponsorships. Hyundai , Emmar MGF and HSBC have taken Gold level and Toyota , Aircel have taken Silver sponsorships.
We request you to confirm your participation with your local chapter. Look forward to seeing you at Anusmaran'09

Subject: IIMB ranks as top Indian B-school in international rankings
Dear Alumnus,
I am delighted to share with you the good news about the significant rankings achieved by your alma mater in two recent international surveys.
In November 2008, Eduniversal , a unit of French Consulting firm SMBG , ranked IIMB as the top B-school in South Asia/Central Asia/Middle East and among the top 27 B-schools worldwide. The selection endorsed IIMB's international reputation and influence defined as "the capacity of a business school to make a student valuable – and thus to improve their employability – in domestic and international spheres." Notably, the Deans of the 1000 Best Business Schools from 153 countries elected IIMB among the Best Business Schools in the Central Asia zone, with a recommendation rate of 398 per thousand, followed by IIM-A (379) and IIM-C (321), classified under "internationally known".
More recently, in April 2009, IIM Bangalore has been ranked among the top ten in the Asia-Pacific region in the QS Global Top Business Schools 2009: The Employer's Choice published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). IIMB is the only Indian management school to rank amongst the top ten, which includes business schools in Australia, Singapore, China and Hong Kong. Significantly, IIMB at sixth place has improved on its ranking from the ninth place it received in the previous 2007-08 report. The survey also states that the average GMAT score of students enrolled in the Post-Graduate Programme in Management at IIMB is 780, which is the highest in the entire Asia-Pacific region – testimony to the talent and caliber of students at IIMB, and why IIMB continues to be a preferred recruitment destination for global positions.
I am sure that we are now poised to achieve greater heights. With help from all of you in the IIMB community, we can, and we are, making significant strides in achieving academic excellence. From this academic year, we will increase our student intake, start new programmes, invest in infrastructure, invite best-in-class faculty and also bring in diverse set of international programs within the curriculum . We want all our alumni to stay engaged and join us in this wonderful chapter of IIMB that we all will be proud of in years to come.
Regards
Pankaj Chandra
Director, IIM Bangalore
