IIM Ahmedabad

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad was started in 1961, as an initiative of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and a few other public spirited industrialists, who realized that it was important to link industry meaningfully with agriculture, education, health, transportation and other vital elements for the growth of the society. IIM Ahmedabad was the result of active collaboration between the government of India, the government of Gujarat and the industry.

In just four decades IIMA has evolved from being India's premier management institute to a notable international school of management.

It was evident that to have a vision was not enough. Effective governance and quality education were seen as critical aspects. From the very start the founders introduced the concept of faculty governance: all members of the faculty play an important role in administering the diverse academic and non-academic activities of the Institute. The empowerment of the faculty has been the propelling force behind the high quality of learning experience at IIMA.

The Institute had initial collaboration with Harvard Business School. This collaboration greatly influenced the Institute's approach to education. Gradually it emerged as a confluence of the best of Eastern and Western values.
