[Pardon the barrage of IIT-centric posts; with time, this too shall pass :-) ]
If IIT Gandhinagar takes off in a big way and in about 8-10 years manages to have the reputation of the present IITs, the fact that an IIM and an IIT are within a distance of 30 kms of each other might result in an unprecedented synergy.
In an ideal scenario, the best technologists of the country will be ably supported by the best managers in the county and vice versa. Imagine the situation where a path-breaking innovation at IIT Gandhinagar is nurtured by IIM Ahmedabad and taken to the market. OR a healthy interaction between them resulting in fostering ideas and aiding and accelerating innovation and invention.
Man, I can't wait to see that day become a reality!
PS: I fundamentally believe that we need managers to only 'manage' as such the world can survive without managers but might not survive without engineers/technologists. :-)

IISc and IIM Bangalore have always been next to each other.... do we have any results like those you're anticipating from the Gandhinagar IIT?
@ Hypo
Food for thought.
