Principal's Desk

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Institute of Hotel Management, Aurangabad – a place where hospitality meets excellence, discipline shapes professionalism, and learning becomes a lifelong journey.

At IHM-A, we believe that education in hospitality is far more than mastering culinary craft, service, or hotel operations. It is about nurturing character, creativity, leadership, and a mindset that thrives under responsibility. Our goal is to shape professionals who excel not only in skill and knowledge, but also in empathy, presence, communication, and global understanding.

The hospitality industry evolves every day – and so must we. Our curriculum, training approach and exposure are designed to meet international standards, ensuring that every student who walks through our corridors leaves as a confident, industry-ready professional. The world of hotels, food, travel and service is dynamic and competitive; IHM-A prepares you not just to enter this world, but to lead it.

I am proud of our faculty, whose dedication and experience guide students every step of the way. I am equally proud of our students – passionate, curious and determined to make their mark across the globe. Together, we cultivate a culture of discipline, innovation, respect and continuous growth.

To every aspiring student – IHM-A is more than an institute. It is your foundation for a remarkable future. I welcome you to experience the journey of learning, character-building and transformation that awaits here.

Warm regards,
Dr. Zubin D’souza
