KIRLOSKAR INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED MANAGEMENT STUDIES, HARIHAR

In the fast, furious, frantic environment that today's organizations work in, second place is not an option. "Anything goes" is the code. And time itself is against you.

We believe that's when you need to take time off. To hone your skills. And then hone them again. To catch a breath, and then catch up on the latest. To get set, before you go.

Nestled on the banks of river Tungabhadra, is a 6 acre setting that
allows you to do just that. One that inspires creative thinking and clears the mind before unleashing it again. It is an idyllic yet intense atmosphere. Welcome to KIAMS.
