About IIM Ahmedabad
Established in 1961 by Sh. Vikram Sarabhai with the motto ‘Vidya viniyogadvikasa’ विद्या विनियोगाद्विकास! — ‘development through the distribution or application of knowledge’.
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.
Similarly IIM A is creating thought leaders and scholars through its Ph.D. program. The It has evolved gradually from its purpose of ‘knowledge dissemination’ to ‘knowledge creation’. This shift in emphasis has, thus, created an ecosystem of advanced research and publications.
