IMI New Delhi was set up in the year 1981 and is india’s first corporate sponosred business school. Set up in collaboration with IMD lausanne (then called as IMI) it soon carved a niche for itself and was able to establish itself as a knowledge repository and training ground for aspiring managers. Initially the focus remained on training programmes directed to all levels of managers. Later, it started the full time one year programme that still continues to thrive. With the changing scenario of business and how it was conducted the need of the hour was to explore more rigourous programs which resulted in lauch of the two year programme. Alongside training and teaching IMI also became a thriving hub for research and established itself as a knowledge capital. A culture that after close to four decades has cemented it further.
