Three management graduates – two of them from IIM, Ahmedabad and the third from XLRI, Jamshedpur, envisioned an opportunity in Professional Entrance Training for CAT exams to qualify for admission to IIMs – India’s most reputed and among the world’s best B-Schools. They went on to set up a training institute – Triumphant Institute of Management Education (T.I.M.E.) in 1992 at Hyderabad. An indigenously developed training programme they formulated started bringing in the results. Recognition followed with more and more students from T.I.M.E. making it into the IIMs and other reputed B-Schools across the country. However Manek Daruvala, Pramod Kumar and P. Viswanath – the entrepreneur trio didn’t stop there. They established more centres at Hyderabad and gradually moved into other cities, responding positively to the trends that emerged. More professionals – qualified and experienced in Training and Management, joined the T.I.M.E. team and its faculty ensuring quality with growth. Constant innovation, excellent classroom teaching, quality course material, and careful evaluation have brought about excellent results year after year. In just a decade and a half, T.I.M.E. has grown into a specialist, multi-location, multi-programme training provider running on corporate lines. At T.I.M.E. we believe in letting our results do the talking. Last year students who were part of our flagship program and were training for the CAT, performed impressively with 773 students making it to the IIMs. This represents approximately 51.5% of all seats at the IIMs. These results have also been validated by KPMG, an independent, internationally reputed audit firm.
