About IIMBx
IIMBx, the digital learning initiative of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), was established to provide world-class education to learners everywhere, regardless of financial, academic, or social circumstances. Since its inception in 2014, IIMBx has pioneered the delivery of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through a collaboration with edX, a leading non-profit online learning platform founded by Harvard and MIT. This partnership has extended the reach of IIMB’s prestigious management programs to a global audience.
In 2024, IIMBx evolved into a Section 8 company, reaffirming its commitment to operating as a non-profit organization focused on democratizing access to education. With courses available on platforms such as SWAYAM, edX, and its own Open edX platform, IIMBx continues to provide flexible, accessible, and high-quality learning opportunities, empowering students, professionals, and managers to advance their knowledge and careers.
