ABOUT US
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has been a pioneering educational Institute for
over 50 years. It boasts of students who have achieved excellence in the field of academics
and organisation. We believe our sincerity, dedication, and focus towards our goal have
been instrumental in our accomplishments.

Mood Indigo, the annual cultural festival of IIT Bombay has grown into Asia’s largest and
most anticipated festival. What sets Mood Indigo apart from other festivals is the devotion of
the students working for it and the urge to deliver the maximum. From shows by legends
like Asha Bhosle, Ustad Zakir Hussain to Bollywood sensations like Deepika Padukone, Akshay
Kumar and Aamir Khan, leaders like Kiran Bedi, CM Prithviraj Chavan, Mood Indigo has
witnessed a lot of perfomances and visits by acclaimed Indian artistes. Expanding its
horizon, Mood Indigo has also played host to concerts by various international artistes
like Porcupine Tree, Simple Plan, Neal Morse band featuring Mike Portnoy, DJ Vinai and
Sander Van Doorn. Leaders and decision makers like Shashi Tharoor and CM Devendra
Fadnavis have addressed the students and visitors at Mood Indigo. The competitions at
Mood Indigo have attracted a lot of attention due to the ‘Live Your Passion’ initiative in
which opportunities are provided to winners of
competitions to excel in their field and develop further.

Being a youth festival, Mood Indigo strives to target the youth with social issues. With social
initiatives like a blood donation drive, a platelet donation drive and an anti-depression drive
in the previous editions, Mood Indigo makes it a point to bring about a positive change in
the society.
