Professor Debashis Chatterjee steps down as IIM-K director
Chatterjee transformed the IIMK into an institution of national impact and global reckoning
KOZHIKODE: Prof. Debashis Chatterjee ended his five-year term as director of IIM Kozhikode (IIMK) on Friday and handed over charge to the seniormost faculty, Prof. Kulbhushan Balooni.
Mr Chatterjee, a Bengali who made Kozhikode his base, would go back to his former role as professor of organisational behaviour at IIM Lucknow. The new IIMK director would be decided later by the union government, said a press release by the IIMK.
Prof. Chatterjee during his tenure transformed the IIMK into an institution of national impact and global reckoning. With over 21 years of teaching experience, he has tried to create a hallmark of ‘Globalising Indian Thought.’ Prof Chatterjee also created history by increasing the enrolment of women up to 54 percent in the flagship post-graduate programme.
