INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SAMBALPUR

Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur is one of the most promising and dynamic management institutions among the new generation IIMs of the country located in Sambalpur, Odisha which was established in 2015. IIM Sambalpur's emblem is a bold graphic representation of the three core values - innovation, integrity and inclusiveness portrayed by the three white squares and resonating in the sanskrit shloka - 'नवसर्जनम् शुचिता समावेशत्वम्'. Taking inspiration from the world famous Sambalpuri woven ikat motifs, the overlapping forms in the centre, represent the local context and ethos of rigour, rootedness and humanity. The individual square elements made from three equal lines represent the three stakeholders - the institute, the industry and the society. The geometric symbol evokes a sense of openness and innovative leadership. The logotype set in bold font, centrally aligned, reflects stability. The deep blue colour reiterates the institute’s blue ocean strategy that focuses on exploring the unknown through incubation and entrepreneurship.
