We strongly believe that we the founders of FOSTIIMA Business School would not have been what we are today but for the inspirational role played by our IIM-A faculty in shaping our careers and our lives.. If today FOSTIIMSA is playing a role in nation building it is because of them.
The names and memories of our faculty mentors like Prof Ravi Mathai, Prof Samuel Paul , Dr Kamala Chowdhry Prof Ishwar Dayal,,Prof S K Bhattacharya, Prof Pulin Garg etc. are permanently etched in our minds and several global thought leaders like C K Prahlad, Raghuram Rajan owe their success to their talent being identified, honed and nurtured by these mentors
With the passage of time, as FOSTIIMA grew, the products of IIMA were becoming high flyers in the corporate sector and were making a name for themselves. At the same time, FOSTIIMA realized that the faculty that molded and nurtured them remained unknown.
Such a situation was not prevalent in USA and the West.
As a gesture of repaying our debt of gratitude to our IIM-A faculty we have instituted awards, titled MARGDARSHAK AWARDS, in their memory in the domain of Human Resource Management. MARGDARSHAK AWARDS honour the leading HR professionals. It’s commonplace to see Indian managers in leading positions in the international sphere.
