If one looks around at the major business houses, industrialists, entrepreneurs and institution-builders in India, it would be observed that the roots of many of them could be traced to Rajasthan. In fact Rajasthan can claim to have the origins and development of true spirit of enterprise, which is in essence the manifestation of entrepreneurial management aptitude, attitude, knowledge and skills. The setting up of Aravali Institute of Management (AIM) at Jodhpur in the year 2000 was a sincere and committed endeavour to provide to the State of Rajasthan a truly world-class management institute.

It was with the above dream, mission, passion and vision that AIM was conceptualized and established under the aegis of Marwar Education Foundation,a registered non-profit charitable educational Society. AIM is a unique endeavour since it has been founded entirely by the academicians and management professionals (primarily the alumni and faculty of IIMs & IITs).

AIM is now in the eighth year of successful existence of sustained growth and progress. Looking at AIM’s affiliation with CAT conducted by IIMs within its first year itself, it being accorded “A” Rating (Business India survey 2003), ranked 1st in Rajasthan (Business Today survey 2002) and 50th in India (Outlook survey 2005) amongst the Best B-Schools, we are convinced that AIM is on the right path to shape up to be truly a top-ranking management institute for meeting the local and national needs. It has all been possible courtesy association, guidance and support from a large number of individuals and organisations from
all over India and abroad.

To begin with, AIM has been functioning from the spacious leased premises at Jodhpur since August 2000. Two years back we had purchased around 100 acres of private land in Jodhpur district where a large fully-residential campus is presently under development which would be a unique blend of modernity with heritage and tradition. The campus is planned to have the most modern communication facilities and educational aids, while simultaneously providing a natural habitat with a lot of greenery suitable for classes in the open, water harvesting and use of non-conventional renewable energy sources.
