IMA® DELHI CHAPTER

What IMA® DELHI CHAPTER does

IMA® Delhi Chapter is a chartered local chapter (Chapter #0936) of the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), a US-based nonprofit professional association founded in 1919 with 100,000–140,000 members globally. Chartered in June 2017 and headquartered in Delhi, India, the chapter operates with approximately 7 staff and a volunteer board led by President Manglam Agarwal, and is part of IMA's Warner Division. Its purpose is to serve as a regional community hub for accounting and finance professionals, supporting certification pathways (CMA and CSCA), continuing professional education, networking, and career resources.

The chapter's core offerings revolve around the global CMA (Certified Management Accountant) and CSCA (Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis) certification programs, delivered in coordination with IMA's central platform. Locally, the chapter runs events covering ethics, data analytics, forensic audit, corporate governance, and the technology impact on accounting, and provides student resources, a job board, and access to IMA's catalog of 1,200+ continuing education courses and webinars. Its digital infrastructure is provided by Higher Logic's community platform, with social presence across Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.

The business model is not revenue-generating at the chapter level: membership pricing, certification fees, and continuing education pricing are centrally administered by IMA global on an annual subscription cadence. The Delhi Chapter functions as a member-engagement and community touchpoint rather than a standalone commercial entity, with no independent ownership, external investors, or disclosed financials. Its customer segments are horizontal — students, early-career professionals, and seasoned practitioners — all served through IMA's membership and certification infrastructure.

Direct peers

• IMA Hyderabad Chapter: Sister IMA chapter in another major Indian metro, delivering identical CMA/CSCA support, CPE webinars, and local networking for finance professionals. Direct comparison point for Delhi Chapter's programming and member engagement model.
• IMA Singapore Chapter: An IMA chapter in a different geography serving the same accounting and finance professional community. Comparable as a peer chapter with similar offerings, though serving Southeast Asian members rather than Indian.
• IMA Bangalore Chapter: A peer IMA chapter in India's tech-finance hub, also chartered under IMA's global network. Targets the same accounting and finance professional segments and runs an analogous event, certification, and student outreach program.
• IMA Mumbai Chapter: Another chartered IMA chapter in India serving the same accounting and finance professional community. Operates under the same parent brand, offers the same CMA/CSCA pathway, and competes for overlapping members and student outreach in the same national market.
