The young minds can contribute significantly in steering the Nation forward. The National Management Movement has a part to play in this awakening.
Realizing this, AIMA evolved an interesting and innovative programme called the "Shaping Young Minds Programme", which provides a platform for professionals (below the age of 30 years) to interact with leading icons from different fields. The icons speak anecdotally from their own career and experience. The programme aims at helping management students and young managers find the common link between management of self, choosing a career path and achieving the right work environment. The programme aims at helping them manage their career expectations and join their careers armed with confidence, experience and zest.
The next Shaping Young Minds Programme is scheduled at Trivandrum in collaboration with Trivandrum Management Association on 26th September 2025. The confirmed speakers include Mr Richard Rekhy, Vice Chair, Grant Thornton Bharat, Mr Sudhanshu Mani, Former General Manager, Integral Coach Factory (ICF) Chennai, Indian Railways, Mr Jayant Krishna, Former CEO, ED & COO National Skill Development Corporation, PM's Skill India Mission, Group CEO, UKIBC, Founding CEO, FAST India and Ambassador Dr Deepak Vohra, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister, Lesotho, South Sudan and Guinea-Bissau and to Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils Kargil and Leh.
