History

IMFS, the Institute of Management & Foreign Studies, was founded in 1997 in India by Mr. K.P. Singh. At a time when the study-abroad process in India was complex and fragmented, IMFS pioneered an all-under-one-roof model that seamlessly blended expert test preparation (GRE, GMAT, SAT and others) with personalized counseling. This integrated approach allowed students to prepare for standardized tests and navigate university selection, applications, visas and financing through a single trusted partner. Built on a student-first mission and trust, the brand grew primarily through student success and referrals. Over more than 27 years, IMFS reports having empowered 67,000+ students from 13 locations to achieve their global education dreams. Its counseling services expanded to cover Bachelor's, Master's, Ph.D., MBA and MBBS programs, with specialized support for top study destinations including the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, as well as nursing programs in Germany. As the brand evolved, it added a comprehensive suite of student essential services—education loans, scholarships, money transfer, student health cover, accommodation, forex assistance, local SIM cards, food packages and relocation support—to simplify every step of the overseas education journey. It also developed innovative hybrid tools such as the InWords app and connects students directly with universities through platforms like EduFest. Guided by founder K.P. Singh and a leadership team with deep expertise in education, technology, finance and consulting, IMFS continues to lead with integrity, innovation and a singular focus on student success. The company remains privately held and headquartered in India, describing itself as India's trusted study abroad pioneer since 1997.
