Madras Management Association (MMA) is a premier institution that connects businessmen, industrialists, students and academicians, and policy makers and innovators to propagate Management Movement in this part of the country. Millions have benefitted from our collaborative programs, flagship events, seminars and workshops. We crossed many milestones to spearhead the spirit of Management Thought in this part of the country. Today, we are one of India’s foremost management associations, winning the Best Local Management Association award continuously for the past 12 years, including in 2020-21.
Our journey started in 1956 when nine pioneering businessmen got together to envision a platform for introducing world-class management practices to a rising nation.

Diwan Bahadur Sir Arcot Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar was an educationist and physician. He was a multi-faceted personality, much ahead of his times and a keen observer. The world would remember him as an outstanding medical statesman.
MIM played a key role in founding AIMA, the southern council and other regional associations, which would become the pillars of management thought.
The institute extended its global connections by networking with other management associations around the world.
The name change to MMA was required to conform with the names of similar institutions in the country.
“Prosperity Through Better Management” – was the theme of MMA’s first management convention.
"Madras Management Association (MMA) pools management thoughts in the country particularly in South India and develop managerial ethos to facilitate furtherance of the management profession and its contribution to the society as a continuous endeavor to public at large, without restricting the same to the members of the Association."
