Founders
In December 2002, the MBA batch of 1978 from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, met for their 25th reunion. One outcome was the desire to do something socially meaningful. Thus was born IIMPACT – reflecting both the desire to make a positive impact and the roots of the founding members.
Vision
