If you want to avoid the Nimzo, 3.Nf3 is the main way to do it. However, Black then has a choice of:
The Queen's Indian (3...b6)
The Queen's Gambit Declined (3...d5 4.Bg5)
The Ragozin Defense (3...d5 4.Nc3 and now 4...Bb4 instead of 4...Be7), as played
Your other option is to go for the Catalan with 3.g3.
If you don't want to play the Catalan, I suggest looking at games of top players in the Ragozin, especially Arkadiy Naiditsch.

Instead of avoiding it, learn it.
Recently drew against very strong competition, apparently all book moves until Move 16. I wanted to avoid Nimzo-Indian by playing 3. Nf3 but I'm not too familiar with K-side fianchetto games and ended up with a Nimzo-ish game. Any suggestions/examples for continuations other than 4. g3 after 3. ...d5 are much appreciated.
