INDIAN INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY The average statistical growth in the global economy shows that the fashion and retail industries are by far the most stable and profitable sources of revenue. We had recognized this potential over a decade ago and have since then been the pioneers in bringing education in the fashion field to the creative young Bangalore. After years of inspiring individuals to immerse them in the world of fashion, we have grown not only in size but also in the number of alumni and students who have positively impacted the world around us, who by being entrepreneurs and creative professionals have helped others advance in their careers as well. We believe, in Indian Institute of Fashion Technology, that the progress of the many together has a greater value than the progress of a single individual. We promote this ideology of teamwork and encourage our students to work on their futures wholeheartedly. This dedication to being the best is what makes an IIFT ian stronger than the rest. 3 P a g e
ACHIEVEMENTS & COLLABORATIONS At the heart of our Institution lies the vision to give back more to the community than what we gain out of it.
