The Apparel & Textile Industries employ 35 million people
directly and 54.85 million people indirectly, and is the second
largest provider of employment after agriculture, contributing
14% to the industrial production, 4% to the GDP and 17% to the
country's export earnings. With the domestic sector of Clothing
and Textiles expected to be around US$ 70 billion, allied areas
of the industry, especially fashion, retail, fashion
communications, lifestyle accessories, luxury products etc. are
also expected to rapidly expand and increase being a market
dominated by “YOUTH” of about 430 million. The rapid growth
of the International fashion industry has overwhelming
economic influence. Domestically, this industry plays a crucial
role in contributing to the industrial output of the nation and its
consumption, apart from generating substantial employment
for the skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled segments of the work
force. With this level of envisioned growth in the International
and Indian Fashion Industry, the industry needs designers -
technical and strategic designers-, design managers and
fashion professionals with more in-depth and broad base
knowledge & skills relating to “the business of fashion” itself.
Considering these evolving trends there exists a need for
programmes that are vocationally apt and industry focused.
Envisioned growth of the Indian Apparel Industry will need over
one million merchandisers, marketing and design
professionals, strategic design managers, product development
experts, production managers and technologists with more
contemporary knowledge and skills. IAM is positioned as a
multi-varsity to fill the need gap as an institute focusing on the “
business side of fashion “.
Indian Apparel and
Textile industry has
grown manifold and
stands at US$ 62
billion today. It is
estimated to touch US$
115 billion by the year
2015 comprising of
domestic market share
of US$ 60 billion and
an export market share
of US$ 55 billion.
The Business of Fashion & Apparel
1
Rise & Rise of Indian Fashion & Lifestyle Industries
The present fashion industry boasts of several talented designers who are
well known for their expertise in their respective domains, not only in the
national, but in the international arena as well. India is one of the oldest
civilizations in the world, presenting itself as the converging point for a large
number of cultural groups professing varied customs and traditions. India is
a country which is founded on diversity – the people love to celebrate round
the year. Apparel & lifestyle statements and the Indian festivals royal
celebrations have a lot to do with each other. Fashion designers are inspired
to experiment with a large number of diverse options. What is noteworthy in
this context is the fact that no matter how large the array of options there are
for the designers, their final designs always portray an element of culture and
emotion that pulsate in the varied consumer markets of India. As more and
more fashion designers and apparel manufacturers recognize the potential
of the country and with the Indian economy sustaining rapid growth. the
consumerism in fashion has finally dawned . The present domestic market
size is estimated at Rs.1,50,000 Cr with the potential to reach 300,000 Cr by
2015. The Apparel exports are also bound to grow at a rapid pace . The
generally adopted way of dressing up in the traditional clothing is giving way
to the adoption of a new metrosexual way of dressing which is wooing the
GenNext. Fashion Designers and the print and electronic media have
contributed substantially to the spread of fashion as a driving force, both
among Indian consumers and selectsegments of Western and South East
Asian markets.
The Apparel industry is now open to innovation, new market development
and aggressive product development while widening the fabric base through
imports as well. The industry has crossed US$11.2 billion as of 2009-10 and
is poised to cross US$ 20 billion in exports by 2015. The industry has
ambitious plans to notch up US$ 25 billion and also create world beating
brands apart from being a “creative manufacturer” to the world.
The Indian Fashion
Industry has certainly
come off age since the
days when all that it
could muster were the
names of just a few
designers like Rohit Bal,
Tarun Tahiliani, and Ritu
Beri in the circuit.

Message from Union Textiles Minister
“There is a huge gap between the garment
industry's growing needs and the large pool of
unemployed youth in India.
I am glad that AEPC's IAM (Institute of Apparel

skilled human resources for the rapidly-growing

Institute of Apparel Management (IAM) has emerged as national player providing globally benchmarked
education with world's leading universities including London College of Fashion (LCF), University of
Wolverhampton and Edexcel, UK, Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCADU), Geroge Brown College
(GBC), Canada and lately expanding its reach and footprints in world's fashion capital France and Italy with
MOD'SPE, Paris (supported by French Ready to Wear Federation) and Studio Moda Rossella, Sansepolcro, Italy
(the emerging place of world's most renowned brands like “PRADA” & “INGRAM”). With such leading partners
and support through AEPC and CMAI, IAM is probably the only institution in the country supported by the industry.
Therefore, IAM is by the industry, for the industry and of the industry.
IAM-IGNOU collaboration is a milestone initiative that brings “World's largest University, IGNOU” and “India's
Largest Apparel Council” together to offer the best-in-class, contemporary curricula & industry oriented degree
programs. I'm sure that this joint initiative will benchmark quality for “New Genre Fashion Professionals” who will

Message of Vice- Chancellor, IGNOU
Message of Director, SOVET, IGNOU
The School of Vocational Education and Training established in August 2007 aims at
providing Education and Training for skill development and to meet the vocational
as well as technical requirements for the economic development of the country.
Demand driven and value added courses/programmes are offered through the
School, targeting the formal and informal sectors. The School will develop courses
that encourage vertical mobility of vocational education and training. Research is
another priority area for identifying societal and industrial needs.
The School of Vocational Education and Training in collaboration with “Institute of Apparel
Management” is all set to offer Bachelors and Masters Degree Programmes in Fashion related
areas. The Indian textile and fashion industry is the second largest employment sector after
agriculture and therefore, this joint initiative is bound to expand the scope and nature of
vocational education beyond its conventional meaning. This will also re-define vocational
education as “Professional Education”, as last few decades has witnessed considerable change
with revival of the new sectors i.e. fashion, lifestyle, retail & brand. The vocational education has
found its much sought after place. Today most of the vocational education & training has
transformed into professional careers in the changing global context. We hope that this new
partnership will provide knowledge & skills for contemporary industrial needs and will fulfill the
professional requirements that are required by the leading fashion and apparel industries
today. This initiative with “Institute of Apparel Management” will set-up a new benchmark for
quality education in the country.

About Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC)
The parent organization of IAM is “Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC)”. The Council is a nodal agency
entrusted with the promotion of readymade garments from India promoted by the Ministry of Textiles,
Government of India. Council has more than 8000 apparel exporters as its members who contribute 3% of the
world trade in clothing and more than 8% of India's total Exports. AEPC has been continuously involved in the
task of promoting of readymade garments exports by:
In its constant endeavor to cater for trained manpower requirement of the apparel industry, AEPC established
“Apparel Training & Design Centre” in 1991 with the mission to upgrade the technical skills of the human
resources employed across the Garment Industry. Keeping in view the growing demand of the apparel
industry several ATDCs have been set up at different parts of the country where the garment industry is
concentrated.
Currently, there are more than 60 ATDC centers functioning all over India. ATDC offers 8 flagship
programmes in production technology, pattern making, apparel information technology etc. and 6 core
courses in different skills and competencies for the shop floor workforce. Having successfully established
training institutes to meet the requirements at the shop floor and supervisory levels, it was also observed that
there is a need felt in the availability and requirement of manpower for apparel industry particularly in the
areas of apparel management, merchandising, vendor management, and retail specific to the apparel and
fashion business.
In view of this, the “AEPC SOCIETY FOR HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT” established an institution of
higher learning to cater this requirement of the industry. The Institute of Apparel Management established in
2007 and located in Apparel House in Gurgaon is now positioned as India's first multi-varsity for Apparel
Industry. IAM has now two campuses, the first one at Gurgaon and second campus at Sanpada, Navi Mumbai.
