What is IAM?

Why IAM?

- By Bharati (FDM)
Design
I didn’t get into design to be an
artist. To me, an artist creates
things to evoke emotion. Being a
designer goes a step further than
that, not only trying to evoke
emotion but trying to make a
reaction. It is very objective-driven,
and that’s what makes it

— Mike Davidson
Fashion

“Fashion is not something

that exists in dresses only.
Fashion is in the sky, in the
street, fashion has to do
with ideas, the way we live,
what is happening.”

— Coco Chanel
Management

Management in all business areas and human

organization activity is the act of getting people
together to accomplish desired goals and
objectives. Management comprises planning,
organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and
controlling an organization (a group of one or
more people or entities) or effort for the
purpose of accomplishing a goal.
