Pune’s Premier PGDM College: A 50 Year Legacy
Established in 1974, the Institute of Management Development and Research (IMDR), Pune, is the city’s oldest management institute. Our journey began within the University of Pune’s MBA Centre and the DBM programme at BMCC. Autonomy granted in 1977 became a defining milestone, allowing IMDR to design a flexible, comprehensive, and outcome oriented curriculum. This academic independence enabled alignment with evolving business needs while safeguarding academic rigor and institutional independence.
Over five decades, IMDR has evolved as a Thinking Institution, shaped by inquiry, reflection, and disciplined scholarship. Our academic ethos rests on three enduring principles that guide decisions across teaching, research, and industry engagement. These include readiness to engage with emerging technologies, a deep commitment to sustainability, and continuous alignment with industry and society.
As part of the Deccan Education Society, IMDR carries forward a long tradition of purposeful and value centred education. This legacy shapes a learning environment that balances analytical thinking, ethical grounding, and real world relevance. As one of the established PGDM colleges in Pune, IMDR continues to evolve with changing economic and global contexts, strengthening its role as a platform for management education. Aspiring professionals build capability, perspective, and responsibility, shaping academic and professional journeys marked by clarity, confidence, and purpose, with strong foundations in managerial judgment and decision making.
