IIPM Bengaluru was established in November 1993 by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry (MoC&I), Government of India, as an autonomous educational institute of higher learning. During the initial years, the institute closely worked with the plantation industry and Commodity Boards of India (CBI) for the development of the agri-plantation sector. IIPM conducted industry need-based short-duration capacity building and training programs for the stakeholders of the Agri-plantation sector that included planters, corporate managers, executive members of plantation associations, small and medium entrepreneurs, officials, and scientists of the Commodity Boards of India, Ministries of Government of India, and officials of the State Development departments.

To meet the demand of the fresh graduates for customized academic programs in the Agri-plantation sector, IIPM introduced a 15-month PG program in Agribusiness and Plantation Management in the academic year 2000-01 for new entrants in the plantation sector, which was later converted into a 24-month AICTE approved Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) in Agribusiness and Plantation Management (PGDM-ABPM). Subsequently, introduced two other PGDM programs viz., Food Processing and Business Management (PGDM-FPBM), and Agricultural Export and Business Management (PGDM-AEBM). The institute also offers Fellow Program in Management (FPM) aimed to develop accomplished and ethical researchers in the field of agribusiness, plantation, food and allied areas. IIPM is a self-revenue generating Institute and the revenue is generated through students’ fee and organizing MDP/Project/Consultancy programs by the faculty members.
