The inception of the Bangalore Sustainability Forum @ IBA Bangalore (BSF @ IBA) was in July 2014. The idea of having a Sustainability forum at IBA Bangalore originated during a discussion between Dr. Subhash Sharma, Director – IBA Bangalore, and Prof. Narendra Babu, Faculty of Marketing – IBA Bangalore. This idea was presented by Prof. Narendra Babu in a faculty meeting held on 11th July 2014 and was discussed by the faculty members. Dr. Subhash Sharma suggested that the Sustainability forum should be named as Bangalore Sustainability forum @ IBA Bangalore (BSF @ IBA).

BSF@IBA derives influence from Dr. Subhash Sharma’s “New Earth Shastra” and “Western Windows and Eastern Doors”. The forum intends to spread and promote the concepts of sustainability & holistic living. BSF @ IBA is located at Indus Business academy, Thataguni post, Kanakapura road, Lakshmipura, Bangalore-62, India.
