On Teachers’ Day, the Dean ACR office introduced a new podcast, Chronicles of IIT Bombay, which will feature a series of conversations with some of the institution builders who have helped shape IIT Bombay. Through their memories and perspectives, Chronicles will revisit defining moments, consequential choices, enduring ideas, and the people behind them who have contributed to IIT Bombay’s journey.

Here’s a teaser for Episode 1, featuring IITB’s legendary Prof. Sukhatme, that is coming soon on the Dean ACR’s LinkedIn channel.

This Teachers’ Day, we also celebrated the faculty who leave behind more than lessons. They leave behind a way of thinking that continues to shape what comes next.
