Dear IBA Alumni,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that IBA is celebrating its 60th year. The continued success of IBA is a matter of pride for all of us. In 60 years the institution has now produced more than eleven thousand graduates and shaped the business and economy in Pakistan.

IBA was conceptualized by a group of visionaries and established with the support of University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton of School of Business in 1955. In its infancy it was housed in small building in the heart of Karachi and was a bold, new experiment in Pakistan’s educational landscape. Today we boast two state-of-the-art campuses, multifaceted international affiliations, the finest faculty from around the world and a number of programs that respond to the needs of a diverse student body and prepares them for the professional world, both local and international. This journey of excellence could not have continued without the continuous hard work of the faculty and administrators who took the institution forward and maintained standards of excellence that define IBA.

To celebrate this momentous year IBA will be hosting a number of events that showcase the achievements of our alumni, engage the larger community and highlight the long and distinguished history of the institution. We have created a rich program that spans the entire year I invite you all to join us in these events and support the institution that has shaped your lives. I look forward to welcoming you to these events and taking the institution forward to even greater glory.

Warmest Regards,



Dr. Ishrat Husain
Dean & Director
Institute of Business Administration
