Founder Chairman

Shri Mahendra Nath was a visionary leader, institution builder, and committed patriot who believed deeply in education as a force for national development and social progress. An accomplished industrialist and educationist, he lived by the principles of integrity, perseverance, and selfless action, embodying the spirit of a true karma yogi.

Born into a humble middle-class family, he imbibed values of honesty, discipline, and compassion early in life, inspired by his father, a medical practitioner and follower of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. He began his professional journey as an insurance agent in Meerut and went on to build successful enterprises across publishing, film exhibition and distribution, trading, and power transmission. Despite having no formal managerial or technical education, Shri Mahendra Nath earned wide respect for his sharp business insight, analytical ability, and strong work ethic.

A firm believer in inclusive growth through education, he established the Dr K. Nath Public Trust, which has supported vocational, professional, and higher education initiatives and enabled deserving students from economically weaker backgrounds to study at premier institutions, including IITs and IIMs. In 1980, under the aegis of the Lajpat Rai Educational Society, he founded the Institute of Management Technology (IMT) Ghaziabad with the vision of delivering high-quality management education in India.

Today, IMT Ghaziabad stands among the country’s leading business schools, carrying forward Shri Mahendra Nath’s legacy of excellence, integrity, and service to society. His life and values continue to inspire the IMT community to pursue meaningful impact and leadership.
