The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) was founded in 1961 as a unique collaboration between the Government of India, Government of Gujarat, local industrialists of Ahmedabad, Ford Foundation and the Harvard Business School, and has emerged as a world-class management institute.

Since 1964, IIMA has contributed to the managerial revolution in India by training tens of thousands of executives in over 3,000 executive education programmes in sixty years. These offerings now encompass a wide range of options, including Open Enrolment Programmes, Customized Executive Education Programmes, and Blended Learning Programmes. IIMA's Executive Education Programmes stand out as the most comprehensive management programmes in India, with a portfolio of hundreds of programmes offered every year.

This exhibit provides a glimpse into the early years of the executive education programmes. For more information on the history of IIMA, please visit IIMA Archives "Brick by Brick" gallery in Dorm-15.
