National Institute of Event Management is Asias First and Best Event Management Institute. It was formed to cater to the growing needs of the huge multi-dimensioned Event Management Industry in India.
Event Management is done at a very huge scale in India. We have the greatest stage and television shows in the world. The growth of sophisticated and mega companies have bought forth a spurt of all types of events.
Research showed that there was no formalized education to teach Event Management. Event management companies found that they had to spend a lot of time in training personnel and they would lose a perfectly trained person to competitor for a better bait. Companies found that their executives lacked expertise to handle events, and hence a growing need was left, to have a formalized training in Event Management. So it took a painstaking three years research by Dr. Hoshi Bhiwandiwalla and his team to start a course on Event Management.
The course was started with an aim to:-
Produce trained and qualified work force for the event and entertainment industry.
Create a new class of Event Managers, Event Co-ordinators and Consultants.
To bring India on a higher footing in the Events Industry.
To constructively utilize the talents of our youngsters towards one of the fastest growing industry. (it grows at 30%)
