Destination Ahmedabad

Image
Ahmedabad is synonym for personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Modi, Vikram Sarabhai and their aspirations. A knowledge center with some of the best schools in the country training the future of the country. A place immersed in history be it during the Mughal/Maratha/Sultanate patronage or during the struggle for independence. An inspiration for the design eccentric architecture, woven fabrics and ethnic artwork. But my introduction to the former capital of Gujarat was through the IIM campus. My home for a short term was going to be the the International Management Development Center in the new campus. Was it the impactful inspiring professors who made learning a pleasure or was it the opportunity to experience award wining Louis Kahn architecture, I am not sure. But the experience was an unforgettable one, something that I will cherish for my life. IMDC, New Campus IIM IIM New campus  Louis Kahn Plaza, IIM old campus  Vikram Sarabhai Library , IIM Old campus
