"The building of an educational institution is often an act of faith and the expression of that faith is in a philosophy on the basis of which those who build such institutions act" (Ravi J. Matthai, first full-time Director, 1965-72)
‘Vidya viniyogadvikasa'— ‘development through the distribution or application of knowledge': this is the motto which has guided the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) since its establishment in 1961 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, enabling it to develop a reputation for excellence and leadership in management education. Created and nurtured as an institute of management and not just as a business school, IIMA has produced numerous leader-managers for the business and public sectors who, with their dreams, aspirations and vision, have shaped their organizational, economic and social contexts. In this educational journey IIMA has been led by its commitment to:
hosting faculty who have distinguished themselves as teachers, researchers, consultants and policy shapers, and are constantly in touch with the world of practice
developing innovative and appropriate curricula and pedagogy that are student-centred
fostering research as a tool to extend the frontiers of knowledge, both applied and conceptual
creating management scholars—teachers and researchers
establishing infrastructure of high quality.
