SHANMUGAM MANJUNATH
(1978-2005)
Class of 2003
Manjunath, or Machaan as he was popularly known among his friends in IIM Lucknow, has
immortalized the core values that are ingrained in every student of IIM Lucknow integrity, sincerity
and determination.
He was a terrific singer, full of verve and heart and performed as part of the campus band Three.Four.
Manjunath's courageous act of taking on fuel adulterators may have cost him his life, but also ensured
that the whole country woke up to the plight of those who fight corruption. His unfortunate death
caused an uproar amongst students across IIMs and IITs and in no time garnered unprecedented
unanimous nation-wide support.
The Manjunath Shanmugam Trust (MST) was formed soon after by members of the international IIM
alumni network, which fought to ensure justice prevailed with the trial being completed in a record nine
months. The efforts of several RTI activist working with the MST has resulted in the cabinet passing the
Public Interest Disclosures Bill, 2010 in Aug 2010, which will become a shield for whistle-blowers and
people who expose corruption and scams.
DIRECTOR'S
MESSAGE
From a modest beginning in 1984-85,
operating out of a make shift
arrangement in the heart of Lucknow city,
IIM Lucknow has now transformed into a
world-class institute with multiple
campuses and numerous international
linkages.
Lord Chesterfield once famously said:
The knowledge of the world is only to be
acquired in the world and not in a closet.
With this philosophy, IIM Lucknow has
encouraged holistic learning among its
students. Beyond the walls of the
classrooms; over and above the
functional domains of b-school subjects;
IIM Lucknow has embraced diversity now
well reflected in its students and
illustrious alumni.
For 26 years, the flame of ambition,
determination and leadership, ignited at
IIM Lucknow, has been the candle in the
wind for our torchbearers. Many of them
have achieved unparalleled success in
the world's most recognized
organisations displaying enthusiasm,
level-headedness, commitment and
ethos. Others have built on the training
imparted at IIM-L, to initiate their own
ventures in fields as varied as education,
market research, music & film.
In the pages that follow, we showcase
these individuals who have left their
imprints on the world. This is by no means
an exhaustive list, rather a sampling of
the many achievers who have graduated
from this fine institution. For batches both
present and future, these stellar
examples will serve as a source of
inspiration, propelling them to the great
heights that the world has come to expect
of IIM Lucknow and its alumni.

The infrastructure and academic ambience at IIM-L even then
was excellent - very conducive to a well rounded management
education. I think those who pass out of IIM-L are stable and
grounded, well read and sensible, and at the same time nurture this
burning desire to succeed. You won't find them asking for a pay hike
or a bigger role the moment they walk into your organization - they
know they have to earn their stripes - and they will

IIM Lucknow has been the keystone of my career; the dual emphasis
which the Institute works with concentrates not only on providing
management related skills and knowledge, but also helps develop better
learning, analytical, and adaptive skills. IIML calls this "learning to learn"
and with the extensive demands on managers in the current
scenario, this skillset is very much required

Be open to change and be open to take on challenges. I feel lucky that I enjoy
my job and look forward to meet Mr. Market every day. It would not have been
possible without the IIML route - I entered the asset management industry via
my first campus job at SBI Mutual Fund. I had a tough schedule at IIML - the fact
that attendance was really necessary (what with surprise quizzes etc. and a
small class size) and that I was also in the Placement Committee

Its been years since I passed out, but it still seems so fresh. Of
all the years spent in classes, it is those in Lucknow that I remember
the most. Our old campus, apartments that served as hostels, a
library situated elsewhere, and so on. Back then calling back home
was a walk to a PCO, long waits, and speed talk to save money.
Satellite TV hadnt arrived, and PC had to be booted up from a disk
which kept getting corrupted. Our new campus was still a place
under construction and enroute were egg paranthas on the
highway dhaba. Wed roam the new campus to see the progress of
construction. Happily ours was the first batch whose convocation
took place from this new campus!
