==History== After India became independent in 1947, the Planning Commission was entrusted to oversee and direct the development of the nation. India proliferated in the 1950s, and in the late 1950s, the Commission started facing difficulties in finding suitable managers for the large number of public sector enterprises that were being established in India as a part of its industrial policy. To solve this problem, the Planning Commission in 1959 invited Professor George Robbins of the University of California to help in setting up an all India level institute of management studies. Based on his recommendations, the Indian government decided to set up two elite management institutes, named ''Indian Institutes of Management''.<ref name="IIMReviewCommitteeReport">{{Cite web|url=http://www.education.nic.in/tech/IIM-Reviewcommittee.pdf |title=Report of IIM Review Committee |author1=RC Bhargava |author2=Ajit Balakrishnan |author3=Anusua Basu |author4=Ram S Tarneja |author5=Ashok Thakur |access-date=19 March 2010 |publisher=GOVERNMENT OF INDIA: MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT |date=25 September 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101006173642/http://education.nic.in/tech/IIM-Reviewcommittee.pdf |archive-date=6 October 2010 }}</ref>
Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was the first of these IIMs, and was established in November 1961<ref name = Director/> in collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, the government of West Bengal, the Ford Foundation and the Indian industry. Its first director was K. T. Chandy, the former chairman of Hindustan Unilever Limited.

==Campus== The main campus of IIM Calcutta, covering {{convert|135|acre|km2|1}} of area, is located in Joka, on the outskirts of Kolkata, India. The institute moved to its present campus in 1975.<ref name="IIMC_campus-infra"/>
In a strategic move to redefine its academic footprint, the Institute formalised a request to the West Bengal government in December 2019 for a satellite campus in New Town, Kolkata. By securing a five-acre plot in this burgeoning tech hub, the institute aims to transcend the geographical limitations of its historic Joka residence. This expansion is designed to facilitate high-impact executive programs and foster deeper industry-academia synergy. Proximity to the international airport and corporate headquarters positions this new wing as a gateway for global collaboration, ensuring the "Jeevan Mukti" legacy thrives within a modern urban ecosystem.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Bandyopadhyay|first=Krishnendu|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/west-bengal-allots-new-town-plot-to-iim-calcutta-for-second-campus/articleshow/74472863.cms|title=West Bengal allots New Town plot to IIM Calcutta for second|work=The Times of India Mar 4, 2020, 13:23 IST|location=Kolkata|language=en}}</ref>
