INDIAN MANAGEMENT CONCLAVE

India’s biggest annual MBA Education Conference & Awards Platform

Indian Management Conclave (IMC), India's definitive annual Management Education Conference & Awards Platform, is organized by MBAUniverse.com in partnership with India’s top B-schools and knowledge Organizations. Launched in 2010, IMC celebrated its 10th Anniversary on August 2-3, 2019 in New Delhi with Former President of India Late Shri Pranab Mukherjee gracing the occasion as our Chief Guest. IMC is very thankful to leading institutions for hosting past Conclaves: ISB Hyderabad (2015), IIM Ahmedabad (2016), IIM Lucknow (2017), IIM Bangalore (2018) and MDI Gurgaon (2021) IIM Kozhikode (2022). Hon’ble Former President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind was the Chief Guest for 12th IMC 2022. SPJIMR is the Partner & Host for the 13th IMC 2023.

Guiding Principles

MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PLATFORM: IMC is a multi-stakeholder platform that brings together Policy makers, Industry, Knowledge organizations and Service providers for the benefit of B-schools.
FACT-BASED PLATFORM: IMC is a fact-based platform, and not a podium for rhetoric. We conduct research and also invite knowledge organizations to share their analysis.
RESEARCH & DOCUMENT: IMC plays a role in researching and documenting best practices of Indian Management Education.
GLOBAL OUTLOOK: In a global world, there is no place for jingoism. B-schools must compete to excel or perish. IMC invites global thinkers and international organizations to share global best-practices.

Key Initiatives
To meet the objectives, IMC Conference has evolved into following initiatives:

  • IMC Conference: Platform for global thinkers, policy makers, CXOs and top B-school leaders to share views and ideas to improve Indian management education.
  • IMC Awards for Excellence in Management Education: Initiative to research & recognize the best initiatives from Indian Management Education.
  • IMC Distinguished Alumni Awards: Recognizing Alumni Achievers who are true brand ambassadors for management education.
  • IMC Faculty Workshops & Master Classes: To share latest teaching and pedagogical tools with faculty members.
