Bengaluru: Eminent cardiologist, chairman of Narayana Group of Hospitals Dr Devi Prasad Shetty has been appointed Chairperson, Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.
The decision was taken by the Board of Governors of IIM Bangalore, at its 167th meeting held on October 09, 2018. His tenure will start from today for the next four years.
“It is a great privilege and an honour to serve as Chairperson of the Board of Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Over the years, IIMB has grown to become India’s leading management institute that attracts the best and brightest students from across the country,” Dr Devi Shetty said.
He added that the alumni of the institution are sought after by leading companies from across the world, including his own.
“Surgeons are like artists and we approach the world through feel, touch and instinct. However, the world of business is more complicated than an open chest, and only the devotees of technology who can synthesize multiple data points will be able to make good decisions. The companies of the future will invest more into digital assets than bricks or mortar and their managers will have to supervise bots, not humans. So, the management curriculum must evolve to cope with a rapidly evolving digital landscape,” he said.
“It is a matter of immense happiness that one of the most well-known and respected persons in the field of medicine and in the business of hospital management, Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, is IIMB’s Chairperson,” said G Raghuram, Director, IIM Bangalore
