IIMB Oral History Narratives

The IIMB Oral History Narratives project is a record of the history of the institute through the memories and accounts of people who were part of its journey at various stages, and who contributed to its growth in their own way. This is an ongoing project and the Archives aims to be a repository of diverse voices – of former faculty, board members, alumni, staff, and others associated with the institute.

Each interview – either video or audio -- is about an hour long, and is stored in the IIMB Archives. Excerpts from the interviews and conversations are presented below. Following is a playlist of the excerpts from the archived interviews.
