From the Trustee's Desk
Greetings to the youth of India!
After more than six decades of freedom, every single Indian is still waiting to
see the day dawn when our country can be called as truly developed. Is there a
magic wand that can change our country for the better? There is! Education!
Nelson Mandela said and I quote “Education is the most powerful weapon which you
can use to change the world.”
Our Chairman, Mr. Gautam Adani, believes that not one organisation but a participative programme, with a
collaboration of many large corporates as well as the people of India, along with government support, will
convert our Dream of a prosperous India into Reality. AIIM has been established and promoted by the
Adani Group drawing upon its strengths as India's leading integrated infrastructure player. The main
objective is to equip the youth to “Be the Nation Builders” by imparting high-quality education and train
them to shoulder engineering and managerial responsibility in the infrastructure and allied sectors of the
economy.
AIIM will be the first of its kind in India which will impart academic curriculums successfully linked with
industry interface and applied research giving the right blend of infrastructure management as well as
technical aspects, creating minds which are solution finders, creating passion for contributing to the
country's pride. The project and team based learning will help students to enhance their emotional
quotient (EQ) which is extremely important for the sustainable success of any individual. Also, it will help a
student, to not only develop his/her capacities but to understand his/her own highest interest in building
infrastructure asset.
AIIM is looking to train and groom “Nation Builders”. Do you have it in you to be one amongst the brightest
minds who will “Build India”? Come, join us and make a career for yourself as you make your country! Be the

Alumni Speaks
Sasi Kumar S., PGPIM Batch 2009-10
I was provided a platform to work with PwC – Infrastructure practice and now 5 years after my enriching experience
with AIIM, I am into consulting practice which has given me a good growth in my professional career. It is a dream
come true to work as a consultant providing advisory services for key issues in Infrastructure sector development.
With 4 years of IT Project Management experience, I was aspiring to be part of the growing infrastructure industry
and in AIIM I found the right fit. The intense and well-thought curriculum rewarded an opportunity to get in-depth
knowledge about core Infrastructure sectors. The insights we got in various industry tours and guest lectures by
working professionals added more richness to overall exposure. The course has successfully transformed me from an
IT professional to hardcore management personnel in Infrastructure sector.
The Executive MBA at AIIM was extremely fruitful and broadened my perspective on various infrastructure related
functions. The quality of faculty, peer group, topics of discussion and facilities at the institute are absolutely
world-class and highly enriching.
First Employment Post PGPIM: Assistant Manager, Reliance Infrastructure Limited (Aviation)
PGPIM at AIIM is a holistic and integrated management programme related to the Infrastructure sector. This
programme seamlessly integrates General Management modules with infrastructure specific modules. Considering
its first year of operation, I was pleasantly surprised and highly impressed by the course design, quality and
experience of the faculty, infrastructure facility and the environment.

Anupam Sawhney, PGPIM Batch 2010-11
The one year spent at AIIM has given me a holistic understanding of the infrastructure space from various
perspectives such as regulations, policies, financing, legal et al. and equipped me to make a smooth transition from
product development to business development.
The highly knowledgeable faculty, course structure, world-class infrastructure and my hard work helped me to learn
something new every day. Understanding the entire gamut of opportunities and challenges in the Infrastructure
space though is a specialisation, but it definitely does not limit a professional manager to one industry. I am proud to
be an alumnus of the AIIM and eagerly look forward to the growth of my alma mater.
With apprehensions joining academics, leaving an already flourishing career was not an easy decision. But, joining
AIIM PGPIM turned out to be path-breaker, as the course provided me with holistic approach about infrastructure
management and its implication in modern world.
First Employment Post PGPIM: Management Trainee, Dodsal Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.
The programme gave me the opportunity to be mentored by successful professionals while developing my skill set
and preparing me for the business industry. It provides necessary training and allows one to get much more in terms
of networking and hands-on experience. Interaction with industry offers students a chance to walk away with more
than just education. The contacts, experiences and principles I have gained will serve as valuable resources
throughout my career.
First Employment Post PGPIM: Deputy Manager-Operations, Adani Logistics Ltd., Dubai
Starting from getting trained by HR personnel till getting placed in ATRECOPL was indeed a great learning
experience for me. AIIM gives its students opportunities to start their career in leading infrastructure firms and also
prepares them for the industry. I would really like to extend my sincere gratitude towards our placement coordinators
and faculties for preparing us to sustain in competitive & challenging industries.
