About Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Gujarat, is India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (2017), recognized for the walled city's extraordinary collection of Hindu, Islamic, and Jain architecture. Founded by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1411, the walled city contains over 600 ornate carved wooden havelis (pols), the stunning Jama Masjid, and the exquisite Sidi Saiyyed Mosque (whose stone lattice "Tree of Life" window is IIM Ahmedabad's logo). Ahmedabad is the birthplace of India's freedom movement — the Sabarmati Ashram served as Mahatma Gandhi's headquarters from 1917 to 1930, where he launched the famous Salt March. Modern Ahmedabad is Gujarat's economic powerhouse with a thriving textile, pharmaceutical, chemical, and gemstone industry. The Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway corridor represents the city's rapid modernization.
