Lesson from IIM-K: Set up new IIMs near industry
The newly built airport is very impressive, much better and spacious than the one in Delhi

If location is the criteria for any IIM to do well than the first IIM should have been setup in Mumbai or Delhi and not Ahmedabad.
Yes, connectivity is an issue but is an IIM responsible for it? And as the writer himself said the international airport of Kozhikode is better than the one at Delhi by itself tells the kind of development that is happening in Kozhikode.
Kozhikode city with IIM-K, NIT-C, a medical college and a university of its own has all the ingredients to become the next big thing.With, initatives like IT park in Calicut in the offing this could be achieved sooner than we think.
IIM K hosts 7 major seminars in a year with speakers from all the major companies and cities coming down to the campus.Something which no other B-school can talk about.
