Qatar Indian Management Association (QIMA) is dedicated to supporting the continuous professional development of its members through seminars, workshops, and training sessions that cover a wide range of topics related to business management, leadership, and industry trends said QIMA General Secretary Shelldine Victor (pictured) told The Peninsula about the Association's plans for 2023.
“We intend to host events that foster networking and connections among members and with influential business leaders in the community. These events may include both social gatherings, such as networking receptions or dinners, and more focused professional development opportunities, like industry roundtables,” he said.
QIMA is also committed to collaborating with other professional associations, industry groups, and educational institutions to further enhance its offerings and provide even greater value to its members. In order to attract new members to the organisation, QIMA is planning outreach efforts to professionals in the Indian community, both within Qatar and beyond. By expanding its reach and offerings, QIMA hopes to create a robust and supportive community that promotes the growth and success of its members. He said QIMA was established to offer a platform for professionals to network, learn, and enhance their skills. Being affiliated with the All India Management Association, QIMA has access to a wealth of resources that can aid in professional development. QIMA plays a pivotal role in shaping corporate leaders by providing access to training and development opportunities, sharing industry insights and best practices, and creating a community of like-minded professionals who can support each other.
QIMA supports the development of corporate leaders in Qatar by organising events and conferences that feature prominent business leaders,
facilitating networking opportunities, and providing development programs for members. Through these initiatives, QIMA equips its members with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel as corporate leaders in Qatar's unique business environment. With QIMA's support, members can stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights that can help them drive their organisations towards greater success.
The association's growth trajectory has always been anchored on networking among business leaders, which facilitates learning and development. This has resulted in the advancement of management skills, reflecting positively on businesses in Qatar in various ways. For instance, managers with robust management skills can optimise processes and resources, resulting in enhanced efficiency and productivity. Consequently, businesses become more competitive in their respective markets, leading to increased market share and profitability. Effective managers also foster innovation and creativity within their organisations, leading to the development of new products, services, and business models, which ultimately drive growth and success.
Additionally, skilled managers are adept at building strong organizational cultures that attract and retain talented employees, while also supporting the achievement of business objectives.
