Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA)

Supporting Progressive Thought Leadership

Recognising newly independent India’s development needs, a group of ambitious industrialists and radical educators convinced the Planning Commission to approve a new kind of school to train expert managers. It would have a distinct pedagogy and focus on real-world problems. This was the beginning of the IIMA.

IIMA is more than an institution of higher learning; it is a community where people of diverse cultures and nationalities live, work, and play connected by their similarities and enriched by their differences.

In a fast-changing world, the Endowment Fund empowers IIMA to stay agile and future-ready. It enables investment in world-class education, breakthrough research, and strategic initiatives - ensuring financial sustainability, attracting top talent, and shaping the future of management education.

The IIMA Endowment Fund was established to secure the institute’s long-term vision of:

Excellence
The fund enables investment in world-class education and helps attract top talent to the institute, upholding IIMA's standard of academic excellence.

Innovation
It supports breakthrough research and fosters an environment where new ideas can thrive, shaping the future of management education.

Global Leadership
By supporting strategic initiatives, the fund helps IIMA maintain its position as a global leader in management education for generations to come.

  • "The support of the Kamini and Vindi Banga Family Trust is a meaningful example of philanthropy creating sustained impact. Their contribution to the IIMA Endowment Fund has enabled inclusive education, strengthened faculty excellence, and supported research that continues to contribute to institution-building and nation-building."
