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.[6]

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.
