OUR STORY
Qimpro® Foundation was conceptualized in 1987, by Dr J M Juran—the Quality Guru who led Japan’s quality revolution post-World War II.
The Foundation’s mission, as articulated by Dr Juran, was bold: "To foster a national quality culture in India, start with two critical sectors—Healthcare and Education." This approach was ahead of its time for pre-liberalized India.
Recognizing that India needed a catalyst for this transformation, Dr Juran entrusted the mission to Suresh Lulla—his exclusive Indian representative at The Juran Institute. That same year, Qimpro Consultants was founded, laying the groundwork for Qimpro® Foundation.
Qimpro Foundation was formally established in 1999 and is governed by a distinguished Board of Trustees, from Business, Healthcare and Education—each one has been a steadfast advocate of Quality Improvement since the Foundation’s conceptual origins in 1987.
Some of the earlier generation of trustees have since handed over the baton to the next generation of trustees, who continue to uphold and evolve the Foundation’s mission with the same spirit of excellence and commitment.
Qimpro® Foundation’s key modes of impact include training, learning, and recognition.
