IIMA
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) was established on December 11, 1961. It is situated on a hundred acre campus in the midst of greenery and red bricks. Everything around IIMA echoes the vision of the founders and the process of change they initiated.
Over the last four decades, IIMA's vision has been to excel in the field of management education. IIMA is now recognized as one of the best and most respected business schools in the Asia-Pacific region. This can largely be attributed to the periodic redefining of its mission to align itself with the changing times, while maintaining focus on social responsiveness.
Golden Jubilee
Half a century ago, two wise men of Gujarat along with several others decided to enhance the knowledge base of prospective managers to enable them to tackle more complex business environment they foresaw in the following decades. One was a textile magnate and the other an authority on nuclear physics
Kasturbhai Lalbhai was highly respected in the country as a leading textile producer. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai pioneered India’s pursuit of nuclear technology and outer space. They convinced the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Dr. Jivraj Mehta to join their dream of setting up the temple of learning in management – Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.
