IFMR was founded jointly by ICICI Foundation and the House of Kotharis in 1970 as a research institute. It is recognised as an Institute of National Importance by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and

as a social science research institution by the Department of Science and Technology (DoST), Government of India. The B-school was set up in 2000 with an objective of delivering a general

management programme focused on finance. The institute's PGDM programme has been catering to this objective. In 2009, two more programmes were introduced - one in Financial Engineering

(30 seats) and another in Development and Sustainable Finance (30 seats). IFMR also offers a PhD programme, which presently has 15 students. IFMR has structured its research into the Centre for

Microfinance, Centre for Developmental Finance, Small Enterprise Finance Centre, Centre for Insurance & Risk Management, Centre for Advanced Financial Studies and the Abdul Latif Jameel

Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
