Message
D ear Students,
Started in 1993 with a mission
to create excellent future
leaders, the Vinod Gupta
School of Management (VGSoM) is the first School of
Management to be established within the IIT system.
With more than 30 years of experience, today VGSoM
plays a pioneering role in nurturing leaders of tomorrow
by blending management philosophy along with
technological advancement to develop managers, who
appreciate both critical technological issues and their
business implications with the mission to train socially
conscious leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who
advance the art of innovation in the global economy.
The distinguished alumnus and Lifetime Fellow of IIT
Kharagpur, philanthropist Dr. Vinod Gupta, led the
inception of VGSoM that develops brilliant minds into
outstanding industry-ready management professionals.
At VGSoM, the students are trained in multidisciplinary
attributes marked by a predominance of globalization,
dynamism, innovativeness, and participant-centric
pedagogies.
Recognizing the importance of technical prowess in
business administration, the MBA curriculum of VGSoM
has been envisioned to follow the most recent industry
trends, particularly in multidiscipline knowledge exposure
and technology-industry-academia collaborations. It
also encourages a special need-based scholarship for
its students to ensure that deserving students have
access to top-notch management training. VGSoM
offers an array of programmes, which include a full-
time MBA, an Executive MBA for industry professionals,
and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics.
MBA (Masters in Business Administration) is the flagship
Prof. Virendra Kumar Tewari programme of VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur. This programme
Director, IIT Kharagpur
transforms students into professional administrators and
entrepreneurs who have creative perspectives, cutting-
edge knowledge, business ethics, and translational
capabilities to contribute to the vision of the respective
organization or establish themselves as successful
entrepreneurs. I firmly believe that the students of

that will empower them to become future-ready global
leaders and guide them to become the Leaders of
