Advantage Gujarat

Any visitor to Ahmedabad will be struck by the vibrancy of this city of around 5.5 million people. The city has a proud history of industry and commerce. Once known as the “Manchester of the East”, much of the city’s twentieth century reputation was built on its commercial and enterprising spirit.

Ahmedabad is the commercial capital of Gujarat State.

With just 5 per cent of the India’s total population and 6 per cent of geographical area, Gujarat contributes to 16 per cent of the country’s total investment, 16 per cent of exports and 30 per cent of stock market capitalization. The state’s annual growth rate has been 10 to 12 per cent for the last five years.

The salient features of the state’s economy and industry are :

• Leader in various industrial sectors, Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Drugs & Pharmaceuticals, Dairy, Cement & Ceramics, Textiles, Engineering and Gems & Jewellery.

• Gujarat’s chemicals and petrochemicals industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the state’s economy.

• Gujarat has the highest share of polymer production in India (63%)

• The state accounts for 28% of the total Indian pharmaceutical production (as per FY 2005-06)

• Investment of USD 1.6 billion in the pharma sector as on May 1, 2006

• Gujarat’s State Domestic Product (SDP) rising at an average growth rate of 12.4% per annum in real terms (from 1994-2002).

• Business-friendly environment and rich heritage of entrepreneurial skill.

Ahmedabad has nurtured the best and biggest Management Association in India – Ahmedabad Management Association (AMA). Located next to Indian Institute Of Management ( IIMA ), that also is a brainchild of Dr Vikram Sarabhai.

 
AMA’s 30,000 square-foot Management Complex is a perfect blend of time, elegance, innovation and quality.

The complex is located in the institutional enclave of western Ahmedabad, surrounded by fine examples of modern architecture: the Indian Institute of Management, the ATIRA building, the school of

Architecture, and the Physical Research Laboratory, to mention a few. The design for the AMA building is wholeheartedly modern. It eschews what might broadly be termed as post-modern concerns, which, over the last fifteen years, have preoccupied many architects in India.
