While IRMA (www.irma.ac.in) was largely started with the objective of creating managers for the cooperative space (and as an extension for the rural development space), most students from IRMA are now joining rural management/marketing positions in corporates. Given that applicants come through CAT/XAT/GMAT, it is becoming more and more like a regular MBA institute.ISDM (www.isdm.org.in) has been established to develop managers and leaders for the broader development sector. It AIMS to create an entire ecosystem around development management and leadership in the country and outside. Faculty are largely people with a huge amount of social sector experience (leaders, academicians, researchers, professionals), the pedagogy supports the building of problem-solving and critical thinking skillsets and promotes teamwork/collaboration.
