About Academy of Indian Marketing
Founded in 2009, Academy of Indian Marketing (AIM) is a consortium of leading management
institutions offering world class management education and research activities through
doctoral and equivalent programs.
AIM was conceived by two marketing scholars in two different continents. Dr. Jagdish
Sheth (Atlanta, USA) and Prof. Neelemegham (India). With Dr. Sheth and Prof. Neelamegham
at the helm, deans and directors of India’s top rated business schools / institutions
were convinced that a common platform was a boon to nurture the research activities
in the Marketing domain, leading to the formation of AIM.
On 21st May 2009 Academy of Indian Marketing was registered and received
certificate of incorporation by Registrar of Companies, Mumbai as a Not for Profit
company U/S.25 of Companies Act in India . Dr. Jagdish Sheth - the Founder and Chairman
is supported by the Co-founders - Prof. Neelamegham, Mr. Rajeev Karwal and Dr. V.
Kumar and the Business director –Mr. Jayant Shah.
AIM has successfully hosted/supported various conferences and doctoral consortium
and is committed to its vision and mission of promoting research in the area of
marketing and promoting marketing as a discipline with active support from academia
and industry.
AIM-AMA Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium
2012 became another landmark year for the AIM as it successfully hosted the Inaugural
AIM- AMA Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium at the Alliance University campus,
Bangalore, India. AIM will be always thankful to Mr. Dennis Dunlap under whose stewardship
AMA (first time in its history) agreed to allow AIM to replicate the AMA Sheth Foundation
Doctoral Consortium (outside of US) in India. AIM is looking at hosting the doctoral
consortium annually at different campuses of its member institution who wish to
co-host the same.
