Founder Rishabh Shah describes I.I.M.U.N as: “A tool which will help students become glocal citizens appreciating both their countries culture and that of the world at large. A tool which will help them not just engage in fruitless colloquy but also bring about that Brobdingnagian change in their own infinitesimal manner. More so, a tool which will get them to understand how not to become just another United Nations.”

The vision of I.I.M.U.N is ‘to unite the world by spreading the idea of India via debates, dialogues and conferences enabling tomorrow’s leaders to learn about India.  To also, be able to create leaders without creating noise.’

I.I.M.U.N has had over 30,000 guest speakers at its concourses, including 32 heads of Nation, Hollywood and Bollywood luminaries, Academy Award winners, noble laureates.

Its impressive list of board members has names such as Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Deepak Parekh (chairman of HDFC), Ajay Piramal (Chairman of Piramal group), Nadir Godrej (Godrej Industries), Chief of Armed Forces, AR Rahman, PT Usha amongst others.
