Established in 1991, Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Studies (KIAMS) was conceived as a training institute and a knowledge hub for Kirloskar Group Managers to share their knowledge and learning and catch up with the latest in management. 
The Institute initially offered Management Development Programmes and consultancy. Taking a leaf out of the rich experience gained from this, KIAMS moved on to offer AICTE approved PGDM from the year 1998. 
The Institute has since been striving to achieve excellence in management through the ruling paradigm of “Education through values” with value being operative in beliefs, processes and results. 
KIAMS enjoys the backing of one of the most prominent business houses in the country – the Kirloskar Group. It was indeed the vision of Mr. SL Kirloskar to provide a world class center for excellence in management education, research, training and consultancy that has been put to practice through KIAMS. The Institute has since been instrumental in offering not just management knowledge to the aspiring leaders but development and consultancy to some of the most inspired business across the world.
