It is a part of the KGiSL Trust, a not-for-profit initiative promoted by KGiSL (KG Information Systems Private Limited), an industrial conglomerate with global interests in textiles, healthcare, IT, and finance. The institute was the brainchild of Dr. Ashok Bakthavathsalam, who envisioned a 'school-at-work' model where education is delivered within a professional corporate ecosystem.

Students benefit from a 24x7 computer centre, advanced networking labs with layer-3 manageable switches, and a digital library that is one of the most comprehensive in the region. The culture at KGiSL-IIM is one of relentless innovation and practical excellence, aimed at transforming students into ready-to-deploy assets for the global technology industry. With its roots deep in the corporate world, the institute has maintained an exemplary placement record, with students consistently being hired by tech giants like Infosys, Wipro, and Zoho.
