About All India Management Association
The All India Management Association, established in 1957 with support from the Government of India, is the national apex body representing the management profession in the country. It is a non-lobbying, not-for-profit institution that serves as the collective voice of over 38,000 individual members and nearly 6,000 corporate and institutional members across 68 affiliated Local Management Associations, with international presence in Mauritius and Qatar.
The organisation is strategically positioned on key policymaking bodies including the All India Council for Technical Education, the National Board of Accreditation, and the Boards of Governors of various Indian Institutes of Management. This allows AIMA to actively shape the direction of management education and professional standards in India. The role extends beyond advocacy to directly influencing how management is taught, practiced, and regulated across the country.
AIMA is a pioneer in distance education, having been among the first to adopt remote proctored testing and shift its offerings online. The flagship Post Graduate Diploma in Management is available with specialisations in digital marketing, business analytics, sustainability, and project management, designed in flexible formats for both fresh graduates and working professionals. Through the India Case Research Centre, the association develops and publishes India-centric case studies for global consumption, contributing to the worldwide body of management knowledge. Executive education and management development programmes are delivered across physical, virtual, and hybrid modes, ensuring accessibility and relevance in a rapidly changing business environment.
Global partnerships with institutions such as UC Berkeley, Cornell University, and The World Bank, along with membership in the Asian Association of Management Organisations, enable AIMA to bring international best practices to Indian managers while also projecting Indian management thought onto the global stage.
