We wish all our readers a very Happy New Year 2023. We thank you for the positive feedback on the first issue of 'Brick by Brick' (September 2022). We are pleased to present to you the second issue. This issue offers further insights into the rich history of IIMA: What does one faculty member remember about one of the key institution builders who played a significant role in shaping the culture of the Institute? What are some of the ways in which the students lived up to the motto of IIMA? How did the institute combine art and architecture in its New Campus? How did students reveal their entrepreneurial bent of mind by pushing through with their idea of an astronomy club, in spite of the absence of institutional support? Where was IIMA's first convocation held? In addition, in line with our efforts to network with other heritage-related organizations, we feature the Tata Central Archives (TCA), Pune, the 'custodian of the Tata story'. We hope you enjoy reading this issue.

The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) was founded in 1961 and has emerged as a world-class management education institute. The IIMA Archives was established in November 2017 to preserve institutional and architectural memory, and periodically disseminate historical information about the institute to the IIMA community and the general public. The IIMA Archives aims to strengthen IIMA's brand and identity through a digital connect with the stakeholders of IIMA that focuses on the history and legacy of the Institute. In the long run, it hopes to become a Business History Research Hub, a small beginning towards which was made with documents and directories related to Indian business history.
