About the Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM)
The Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) was an educational institute. It was founded by Arindam Chaudhuri's father. Arindam later became involved with it.
It's important to know that IIPM was an unaccredited institute. This means it was not officially recognized by the government to give out certain degrees like MBAs.
In 2014, a court looked into how IIPM was operating. The court found that IIPM was making it seem like it was recognized by a foreign institute called International Management Institute (IMI) from Belgium. However, the court discovered that IMI was actually set up by Arindam Chaudhuri and his father. It was not officially recognized by Belgian laws either.
Because of these issues, IIPM announced in 2015 that it would stop offering direct education programs. It closed all its campuses outside of Delhi. After that, it continued to operate only as a research and training institute in Delhi.
