Ramaiah Institute Of Management

What Ramaiah Institute Of Management does

M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Management (MSRIM) is a private management education institution headquartered at the Ramaiah Group Campus in Bengaluru, India. Founded in 1995 and operated under the Gokula Education Foundation (Medical), MSRIM delivers a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) — approved by AICTE and accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) — alongside a Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) doctoral track and a PGDM with Global Pathways variant. The institute runs multiple specialized research and industry-facing centers (Centre for Sustainability, Centre for Leadership, Case Centre, BCIC, RIM Innovation & Incubation Centre, and Ramaiah Japan Centre) and supports ten-plus student clubs across analytics, finance, operations, HR, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Go-to-market is sales-led through admissions cycles, with demand driven by academic rankings, accreditations, alumni referrals, and placement records at employers including HSBC, Deloitte, Yes Bank, SBI Life, Informa Markets, and Leidos.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees for PGDM, FPM, and executive/management development programs, supplemented by consultancy and corporate training income. Program fees are not publicly disclosed and are quoted via admissions. The institute has 101–250 employees and is investing in expanded capacity: a new residential campus near Devanahalli is under development, and in August 2026 the parent entity will launch RISM (Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management) — a new deemed-to-be university — in partnership with the University at Albany, SUNY, extending the group's footprint into STEM disciplines (Computer Science and AI, Aerospace Engineering) alongside management studies. The underlying technology stack is conventional educational delivery (on-campus instruction, alumni portal, digital admissions); no proprietary software platform or AI/ML product capability is disclosed in the source data.
