From a humble
beginning at the St. Martha’s compound, Bangalore, to emerging as one of the
most prestigious institutions in the country 25 years later, XIME has come a
long way. The premier institute, started in 1991, is gearing up for almost a
year-long silver jubilee celebration from October 16, 2015 to May 7, 2016.
XIME’s story of growth
and achievement is unusual and in these 25 years, has carved a niche in the
academic circuits. As many as 20 batches have graduated from the Institute in
all these years and have entered the management profession and have proved
themselves in various capacities.
The formal
inauguration was on October 16, 2015. Mr. Alok Ohrie, Managing Director, Dell
India inaugurated the Silver Jubilee Year and remarked that the quality of the
management, faculty and students makes XIME
stand ahead in the crowd of management education schools.
Mr. Ohrie’s thanking message
is reproduced below:
Once
again my hearty congratulations to you, other founding members, faculty and all
students on completing 25 glorious years of excellence and contributing to

honor to join all of you in kick starting the celebrations. Here’s wishing you

providing management education of a high order of excellence with an objective
to mould young managers with a passion to perform and endow them with knowledge,
skills and ethical ballast to fit into the various roles that commerce and
industry offer them today.
