The year 1957 saw the beginning of a powerful movement. The `ALL INDIA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION’ (AIMA) was created as the national apex body of the management profession, with active support of Government of India and Indian corporate sector. It was intended as a cause group – a body to pool management thoughts in the country, a forum to develop a national managerial ethos, an organization to facilitate the furtherance of management profession and its contribution to the society.
Today, more than five decades later AIMA is recognized for its national stature, upheld by broad base of 58 local management associations and two cooperating associations abroad. Its membership base includes over 30,000 professional individual members and 3,000 corporate organizations as institutional members.
