Tata Management Training Centre

The Tata Management Training Centre (TMTC) was established by JRD Tata in the year 1966. Located in Pune, it was awarded the ''Golden Peacock National Training Award'' (2007–08) in the field of Training & Development. TMTC focuses on Management and Development.

It has disseminated over 50 publications including management briefs, manuals, research papers, and case studies.

Shubro Sen, the former director of TMTC, described it as follows: "It is not purely an academic institution. But it functions at the intersection of learning and practice".

History

TMTC is housed in a structure designed by architect George Wittet, on rambling grounds surrounded by leafy trees, lawns, pathways and flower beds. The 15 acres of land on which TMTC stands once belonged to F. E. Dinshaw. In 1918, Dinshaw acquired the services of Wittet, the then consulting architect to the Government of Bombay, to build him a country home. Later, additional suites were designed and constructed by Daraius Batliwala and Rustom Patell of Patell Batliwala & Associates.

In the 1960s, it was restored and turned into a residential training center although the original layout remains the same.
The institute can house 60 people within its residential facilities; it also has two lecture halls and two seminar rooms along with a library of management books, journals and films. Besides residential and academic spaces, TMTC has facilities for indoor and outdoor sports.

Its facilities have been utilized by other specialized training institutes, including the Indian Institutes of Management (Ahmedabad and Calcutta), the Administrative Staff College of India (Hyderabad), the All India Management Association and the Indian Society for Applied Behavioral Sciences.
