About The Founding Institutes

Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Government of West Bengal, The Ford Foundation and Indian industry. During its initial years, several prominent faculties formed part of its nucleus, including Jagdish Sheth, J. K. Sengupta, among others.

Over the years, IIMC has grown into a mature institution with a global reputation, imparting high quality management education. It has been playing a pioneering role in professionalising Indian management through its Post-Graduate and Doctoral level programs, Executive Training Programmes, Research and Consulting Activities.

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) was established as an institution to be managed by a Society, the IIMA Society, created under the Societies Act. The Institute was to be governed by a Board of Governors, constituted by the IIMA Society; the Board would include representation from all relevant constituencies, ensuring it addressed the diverse needs of a developing nation. IIMA was therefore conceived as a Board-managed institution, independent from the exclusive control of any single constituency. As a result, operational freedom is an integral part of IIMA's ethos.
IIMA has consistently been ranked as the premier management school in the country by several national agencies. Its programmes are also ranked highly in numerous international rankings. In 2008, IIMA became the first management school in India to be awarded EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development).
