Heritage Business School (HBS), Kolkata

A harmonious integration of valued traditions with modern outlook is the guiding principle behind the development of the academic environment that constitutes the basic philosophy of the Heritage Group of Institutions. Keeping this philosophy in mind Heritage Business School , formerly known as Management Education Centre, (HIT – MEC) was established by KBT in 2003, to create young budding managers and future leaders. Inspired by the noble cause of education and philanthropic zeal, a group of twenty-two like minded industrialists in Kolkata established in 1990 the Kalyan Bharti Trust (KBT), a charitable educational establishment, to promote and provide higher education in the country and in the State of West Bengal, in particular. KBT founded Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata, in 2001 to create a Centre of Excellence in technical education in Eastern India. The aim was to be a leader in technical education in the country and to be at par with the best in the world. To achieve KBT’s objective, The Heritage School (www.theheritageschool.org ) was set up in 2001, and it offered education from pre-nursery to plus 2 level under the C.I.S.C.E. as well as International Baccalaureate and I.G.C.S.E programmes. Heritage Institute of Technology (www.heritageit.edu ) was set up in 2001, and the Management Education Centre (presently known as Heritage Business School) was set up in 2003, while The Heritage Academy ( www.theheritageacademy.in ) came up in 2007
