the glory of management education in India. Launched in 2010, IMC has

discussion on the challenges faced by the MBA education in India.
About
Indian Management Conclave (IMC)
First held in 2010,
the annual Indian Management Conclave (IMC) is widely recognized
as India's definitive thought-leadership
platform for MBA educators. With the Indian MBA education facing
unprecedented challenges, a serious platform to discuss and debate the impact
of these significant challenges had to be created. IMC was hence organized by
MBAUniverse.com in 2010 to provide a forum to discuss the challenges and
showcase the opportunities. The 4 core objectives of IMC Conference
& Awards are: researching the challenges &
opportunities facing Indian MBA education; creating a platform for sharing of
Innovations and Best Practices; influencing policy on MBA education and bringing
together a
network of 100 progressive B-schools, and international B-schools, to
collaborate and learn from each other. Five years later, IMC is now recognized
as India’s biggest and best organized and attended conference on MBA
education.
Instituted in 2013,
IMC Awards are bestowed upon B-schools which make a difference with
innovations in marketing, pedagogy, curriculum and industry-engagement. Representatives
from AACSB, EQUIS EFMD, Deans from well-known B-schools from US, Canada, China
& Singapore have been attending IMC.
