About the Institute
The Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Studies (KIAMS) was set up in 1991 by the Kirloskar Group to put into practice the thoughts of its illustrious leader, Mr.S.L. Kirloskar.
Mr.S.L. Kirloskar, a doyen of Industry, was a visionary of a rare kind who possessed the drive and the determination to accomplish his vision. The emergence and subsequent success of the Kirloskar Group companies in the firmament of the engineering industry in India is a realization of his vision.

KIAMS began with a thrust on Management Development Programmes (MDP) aimed primarily at the Kirloskar Group of Companies. Since inception, the Institute has conducted over 235 MDPs and trained over 5,000 managers. Several organisations outside the Kirloskar Group have also sponsored participants to these programmes. The Institute offers a variety of programmes both in general management and functional areas of management for managers at all levels.

KIAMS started the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) Programme in 1998. The vast accumulated experience of the faculty in conducting a large number of MDPs and Consultancy projects has been the primary factor behind the decision to launch the PGDM Programme.

KIAMS provides a state-of-art learning environment with top-of the line facilities.
