“The highest education is that which does not merely gives us

information but makes our life in harmony with all existence ”

-Rabindranath Tagore

T

he name Pune (also transcribed Poona) derives from

Punya Nagari (Sanskrit, "City of Virtue").

Pune formerly known as Poona, is the eighth largest city in India, and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra, after Mumbai. Situated 560 meters above sea level on the Deccan plateau at the confluence of the

Mula (Marathi: ??? ?) and Mutha rivers(Marathi: ????), Pune is the administrative capital of Pune district. The population of Pune district is 72, 32,555 (census 2001). Marathi, English and Hindi are the commonly spoken languages here.

Pune's stature has been ever growing over the last few decades as more and more internationally acclaimed brands and multi nationals are making this city a part of their plan, the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjewadi is a testimonial of the same.

Pune is known as The Oxford of the East, due to the various educational institutions, and is also sometimes referred to as The Detroit of India owing to the many manufacturing companies, particularly automobile giants, having their base within the city's metropolitan area.

What makes Pune the most sought after destination for students and corporates is its proximity to Mumbai, progressively growing infrastructure, friendly and helpful fellow citizens, and the rich heritage of art, architecture, literature, music and theatre.

Pune offers a potpourri of culture, traditions to those coming here for education, job or simply to experience Pune!

ituated at Pune, Maharashtra, AIMS Institute

of Management Studies has been started by Adhyyan Education Society. The virtue of AIMS is to transform the personalities of students and inculcate in them life-altering and quality-enhancing skills that would make them performers in all walks of life, rather than just produce students who are academically sound. After all, one's personality is a representation of one’s holistic endeavors rather than a mere representation of his/her academic achievements. AIMS has been started with the goal of transforming those, who enter its gates, so that when they leave they are smart, recognized and enriched all-rounders, who will do well, no matter where they are. At AIMS, we focus on creating employability.

“Literary education is of no value, if it is not able to build up

a sound character”-Mahatma Gandhi

From The Director’s Desk

"The whole object of education is to develop the mind. The mind

should be a thing that works”

Management education, coupled with real-life personality enhancement, is the answer. As they say,

which means that 'Nothing adorns the body more than Education!'

"Vidya Samam Na Asti Shareer Bhooshanam"

Mr. Rana Mukherjee

“Todays world is taking interest in B.R.I.C

nations, which primarily refer to Brazil, Russia, India & China. It is a great opportunity to be living and working in one of the fastest growing economies of the world. India promises some of the highest growth rates among businesses and industries across the world. A young economy, where more than 60% of the people are below the age of 35 years, India is clearly on its way up. We have young energetic people who are hungry for growth and excellence. But to take India to the heights it is meant to achieve, we need to channelize the energy of this army of youngsters by giving them direction and training to achieve the best by being the best. There is a need to equip them with skills so that they get ample opportunities to establish themselves globally. This in turn would lead to a contribution in the growth of the sector where these youngsters can leave everlasting impressions and which may also serve as a milestone for the ones who would follow them soon.

At AIMS, we attempt to transform the lives and personalities of students through experiential learning and ensure that they are 'career-abled' for life. We intend to make our students rich with knowledge and global etiquettes to compete with the best!”

Mr. Rana Mukherjee has over 25 years of rich experience in Sales, Marketing and Operations working with large corporations like British Airways, Hindustan Lever, Modi Xerox, Siemens and Reliance Infocom in leadership roles. Several of these assignments were at strategic level and pushed him to change the paradigm in which the business processes are run.

During his tenure in Siemens, Mr. Rana Mukherjee had the unique opportunity to spearhead the growth of the SAP business in India. He led and won several large deals for SAP AG in India which resulted in permanently establishing the supremacy of SAP ERP Software in India over several of its competitors.

For Mr. Mukherjee teaching is a passion and he has been imparting knowledge and sharing his real life experiences at leading management colleges. He was till recently the Director of Indira School of Career Studies, Mumbai. He has also taught in Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies in the areas of effective communication, IT strategy and dynamics of IT industry.

-Dr. Abdul Kalam

Director - Student Social Responsibility Cell

“ Today's generation is obsessed with the rat race. In

our mad rush to make more money and become more and more successful in life, we forget that there is more to life than just work. The blame, I would say, largely rests with our education system, which teaches students to be brilliant at academics and all skills necessary to get a great job, with a fabulous salary. What we don't teach them is how to cope with work on an on going basis and not lose yourself to work.

At AIMS, we focus on developing all-rounders, who are not only equipped with the skills required to get the best jobs, but we also focus on holistic personality development. This includes being able to achieve inner peace and give back to society what we all have received all through our lives. For the purpose of achieving this inner peace, at AIMS we focus on Art of Living and yogic practices that help students equip themselves with skills that help them maintain a good work life balance always.

At AIMS, we believe that one must give back to society, as in several untold ways, all of us receive so much from society. All students are made to participate in social service activities, which not only help society, but also sensitize the individual to the other aspects of life and the problems of the less fortunate.

We AIM to product world-class citizens, who are capable of giving back to society, and leading complete and fulfilling lives.”

Honorary Director - Corporate Relations

“We are a fast developing nation, one amongst the few who can still boast of economic growth. This is reflected in the FDI coming into the country and the partnerships we have with multinationals all over the world. As a nation, we have everything going for us, money, opportunity and the youth with the zeal to succeed. We need institutes like AIMS to hone the skills and give the right direction to the youth of today.

As part of our efforts to make students capable of contributing efficiently to every sector and industry, we give utmost importance to our corporate relationships. It is only through actual industry interface, case studies as a mode of teaching that the students coming into our institute transform into multi-tasking professionals.

When it comes to summer projects and final placements, our attempt would be to place our students in recognized companies that will give them an opportunity to prove themselves and be an asset. Our Corporate Relations cell works round the clock to facilitate and enhance our corporate relationships. We ensure maximum industrial exposure to the students during their association with us.

Why MBA From AIMS ?

The theory of Multiple Intelligence by Dr. Howard Gardner, proposed and acclaimed world-wide, is an eye-opener. Gardner's theory argues that intelligence, as it is traditionally defined, does not sufficiently encompass the wide variety of abilities humans display. As per this theory, there are 8 skills that can be learnt from all subjects, and it is a healthy combination of these skills that go into the overall upliftment of an individuals' intelligence. These 8 skills are:

1. Intrapersonal 2. Linguistic3. Physical4. Logical5. Visual6. Musical7. Naturalistic 8. Interpersonal

Is there a manager in you ?

Do you see yourself heading a large team in a successful organization after few years ?

Do you have it in you ?

It is obvious then, that students coming out of most education institutions currently do not come across as dynamic and complete personalities. The main reason is that while one or two of these skills have been focused on, a large majority of these have simply been ignored, to the point of completely excluding them from the lives of the students.

At AIMS we believe in the all-round development of the personality to ensure that the multiple-intelligence of the student is enhanced truly and from within.Our unique approach, based on Multiple Intelligence theory by Dr. Howard Gardner, makes us a one-of-a-kind Management Institute, which ensures the following:

Practical Understanding of the subjects - We follow the case based approach, followed by prominent institutions such as IIM Ahmedabad and Harvard Business School. We ensure that all concepts taught during the course of the 2 year program is supplemented by practical application of the same.

Social Communication Skills – To succeed in any sector or industry, it is important that you have a good and pleasant personality and you know how to interact with people in an office/social setting. We will ensure that you leave AIMS with tangible extra-curricular skills, such as either a musical instrument or knowledge of an art form.

Business Communication Skills – Presentation is the most key aspect of working in any corporate. How to communicate effectively, whether verbal, body language, written or electronic, in a business setting, is what is instilled in you from the start.

Conscientious Citizen – Every AIMS student will be responsible and conscientious with good civic sense and social responsibility.

Our Teaching Methodology

Case Study Method

Harsh realities in today's world are not what one comes across in books. The situations experienced in the work area differ from the theoretical concepts. We have a library which is a rich source of cases from the corporate world.

At AIMS, we bridge the gap between the real life and the reel life by providing education which is a blend of fundamentals as-well-as practical application.

Our institute provides a wider range of knowledge than a mere MBA Degree. Besides the classroom atmosphere, opportunities are provided to explore different avenues by participating in special seminars,career workshops,company visits, college activities and competitions.AIMing differently.

We AIM to be different.

"Base of all educational efforts on building up the character of the students,

and then you can confidently think of rising on the super structure of curricula”

-Sri Sathya SaiBaba

Our Curriculum - Specialization Electives

At AIMS, our vision is to produce extra-ordinary personalities who are celebrated and looked upto in any setting, corporate or otherwise. In keeping with that, while academics will clearly be a focus, with practical application being stressed on, students will also have to do the following:

Yogic practices, Meditation and life enhancing techniques are a way of life for an AIMS student.

This could be a musical instrument or painting or any other art form. We would be providing several options, among which the student will have to pick. The objective is that at the end of the two year programme, the student would have walked away with a tangible skill for life.

All students will be mapped onto Social Service organizations and will be given an assignment to complete. Social Service will be a weekly activity which will ensure that you give back to society what you have got. Also, the idea is to mould our students into responsible citizens of the country. For this purpose, we have tied up with multiple Non- Government Organizations, where in students will be doing real community projects which will help them to become better citizens.
