All India Management Association (AIMA) is the pinnacle of the Indian management profession. It is looked up to as the ‘voice’ of managers and leaders in India. It collaborates with students, academia, the Government and the industry in a non-lobbying and not-for-profit manner. It promotes the issues of the management profession in the country.
AIMA is affiliated with 67 local management associations, has about 6000 institutional or corporate members, and its membership base has expanded to more than 38000 members. AIMA has its representatives on many policy-making bodies of the Indian Government and national associations.
In 1957, AIMA was established. Since then, it has made numerous contributions for enhancing the management capabilities of India. Right from the inception, it has provided services in management development programs, executive education, publications, research, training, skill development, distance education and testing, among other areas. It has participated in special forums for female managers and leaders, Vice Chancellors and Young Leaders.
In the past 60 years, it has witnessed evolution while adjusting to the growing requirements of the management community.
