Somaiya Vidyavihar was established by Padmabhushan Late Shri K J Somaiya, an Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and a Visionary, in the

year 1959. He firmly believed that modern education must have its roots in strong values. This underlying theme and legacy of Somaiya

Vidyavihar was continued and strengthened by his son Late Dr S K Somaiya and currently by his grandson Shri Samir

Somaiya.

Within this context, Somaiya Vidyavihar provides educational opportunities to all qualified students to discover and dis-

seminate knowledge in order to serve communities around the world. Steeped in rich Indian culture and heritage and

rooted in universal religious philosophies of the world, the Somaiya Vidyavihar Trust firmly believes in imparting education

that teaches not just how to live but how to make a living. As a centre of learning, Somaiya Vidyavihar combines experiential learning

with rigorous scholarship in all their educational programmes to produce educated learners who are awake to new, challenging possibili-

ties. The Trust is committed to academic excellence and intellectual competence. Freedom of expression and inquiry, exchange of ideas,

cultural activities, intensive classroom instruction, and numerous informal events of the Somaiya Vidyavihar community combine to en-

sure that each student receives a thorough education in tune with the global realities of a rapidly evolving world. The ethos of Somaiya

Vidyavihar ensures the development of community of scholars with talent and expertise that will garner regional, national and interna-

tional recognition.

The Trust is dedicated to providing service to the communities by increasing their ability to make practical application of knowledge and

provide an important engine for research and economic development. The Somaiya Vidyavihar campus comprises 34 independent insti-

tutes dedicated to Liberal Arts, Sciences, Management, Health Care, Humanities, Philosophies and Social Sciences and is spread across a

60 acre complex in Vidyavaihar, in north central area of Mumbai and a 90 acre complex at Sion in the heart of Mumbai. Somaiya Vidyavi-

har is home to over 27,000 students and 1,700 teaching staff. Majority of the colleges are affiliated to the University of Mumbai. The

At K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research we continually face challenges - how we view them defines

us! Do we choose to see the challenges as stepping stones or as obstacles?

If we choose to see them as obstacles, then the challenges we face will be viewed as problems - problems that need to be

overcome along with all the negative connotations associated with problems. A great deal of wasted energy can be

spent focusing on a negative mindset - mindsets like "I can't", "I won't", "I don't want to" and "I shouldn't have too".

We at K.J.Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research however, choose to see challenges as stepping stones - opportunities that

we have encountered along the way for us to use, to "step on" so that we can achieve more, develop further and ultimately actualize

more of our goals!

We have created a vision for us whereby our name becomes synonymous with excellence, innovation, honor, integrity and outstanding

quality and service. That's it - we promise less and deliver more...every time. As we have kept our vision goal focused we have been able

to visualize our vision into a stepping-stone, one which will enable us to reach even greater heights.

At K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research staff is fantastic...fantastic yet diverse. We have a kaleidoscope of profes-

sionals different in so many ways. Some may choose to see diversity as an obstacle - dividing rather than unifying. We see diversity as a

stepping-stone. We focus on the individuals' strengths and use their strengths in a very goal-directed niche within our organization. We

are so fortunate to have personnel that enhance our vision with their special talents, talents given willingly and passionately.

Our endeavor has always been to inculcate a never ending quest for knowledge among our students and provide a congenial environ-

ment for them to innovate and experiment. Business is all about innovation and to my mind innovations come through those who are

willing to experiment and commit mistakes. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. In their journey to in-

novations our students have found the faculty members always willing to mentor and facilitate them towards excellence. In the process

our students become holistically developed corporate citizens ready to take on challenges of a corporate life.

The stepping-stones at K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research are here. Our results attest to this, our work ethic con-

firms this and our vision underpins this. However, K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research is not perfect - we'll keep

working on that. We have our moments - but I suppose that underneath it all - we all think we're kinda special!

tle and bustle of Mumbai city provides an environment that is truly conducive

for the process of learning and individual growth. Along with management

tional languages including ancient languages like Sanskrit and Pali. Facili-

ties to learn & practice yoga and a well developed sports infrastructure

selves and brought glory to the Institute by winning number of national and international awards,

4.INSTITUTE PHILOSOPHY

The founders and trustees of Somaiya Vidyavihar firmly believe that the only way to liberate an individual and unleash his potential is

through education. If India is to take leadership position in the next decade and become an economic, political and spiritual powerhouse,

it needs to cultivate true leaders. The only way to achieve this is through good quality education and the benefits of such an education

must trickle down to the lowest levels of the Indian society. Inclusive and sustainable growth is possible only if more and more people are

able to get access to education and also become part of the digital revolution sweeping across the world. The Institute believes that it has

the capabilities to translate this dream into reality and become the enabler of change which India is looking for and the world is looking up

to. A world class infrastructure and value systems grounded in Indian ethos reinforces the belief in our ability to groom managerial talent

that would lead the country forward. At SIMSR, we believe that knowledge alone would liberate.

The Institute has international linkages with the following Institutes / Universities :

School of Management, Asian Institute of Technology,

Bangkok (Thailand) – student and faculty exchange

Deakin University, Australia - student and faculty exchange

Vaasa University, Finland - student and faculty exchange
