There is no religion SOMAIYA VIDYAVIHAR (SVV)
other than humanity
Padmabhushan Late Shri Karamshi Jethabai Somaiya, an Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and a Visionary,
who firmly believed that modern education has to have its roots in strong values, established
Somaiya Vidyavihar (SVV) in 1959. This underlying theme and legacy of SVV was continued and
strengthened by the late Dr. S.K. Somaiya and the legacy is being taken forward by Shri Samir Somaiya
— a Cornell University & Harvard alumnus.

SVV aims to provide for its students, meaningful and relevant education that emphasizes both the
liberal and professional aspects of higher education, steeped in rich Indian culture and heritage
and rooted in universal religious philosophies of the world.

The SVV campus comprises of 36 individual institutes dedicated in the area of Liberal Arts, Sciences,
Management, Humanities, Philosophies and Social Sciences as important aspects of scholarship,
and is spread across a 60-acre complex in Vidyavihar, in north central area of Mumbai and a 90-acre
complex in Sion, in the heart of Mumbai. SVV has over 38,000 students and 1,500 teaching staff.
Majority of its colleges are affiliated to the University of Mumbai. The trust also runs autonomous
post-graduate courses, vocational training courses, and high schools within the campus as well as
in rural India.

Within SVV lies Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU) which provides educational opportunities to all
qualified students to discover and disseminate knowledge in order to serve communities around the
world. SVU firmly believes in imparting education that teaches 'how to live' and 'how to make a
living'.
The guiding principle for SVU like SVV is 'Knowledge Alone Liberates'.

PADMABHUSHAN SHRI K.J SOMAIYA
(1912-1999)

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We need to grow, to build up our human
society in a just way.Thus, development
Our Founder, Padmabhushan Shri K. J. Somaiya was deeply influenced by Gandhiji, and dedicated himself to
nation building. He founded Somaiya Vidyavihar on the 9th of September 1959. He later founded the Girivanvasi should reach to all sectors.
pragati Mandal, the K. J. Somaiya Medical Trust, Girivanvasi Education Trust and sister institutions to make great
citizens of India and the World. In the words of Swami Vivekananda, "We want that education by which character
is formed, strength of mind is increased. the intellect expanded and by which one can stand on one's feet."
We have now grown into a multi-disciplinary and multi-campus education institution with over 1500 faculty, and
38,000 students.
Our motto is: ञानादवे तुकैवलय् म् || Knowledge alone liberates. Liberates from poverty, from Hunger. Also, to liberate
one from the attachments that binds us to small-mindedness. Knowledge also provides opportunity to make the
life lived more meaningful. In the service of one's family, one's community, one's samaj, and indeed, the world.
Bearing in mind that there is no religion other than the life lived in the service of humanity, नमानषु ातप् रोधरम् ||
Our education in any subject will reflect its timeless fundamentals, its current context, and applications. There is
so much scientific discovery taking place at the intersection of fields of biology, computing, medicine, the social
sciences and everywhere else. We will provide students and faculty with an environment to engage this world,
to discover new truths, make new applications to create and share knowledge. Our education will also be
experiential. With projects that are ‘real’ and those that complement the learning inside the classroom.
Our students and faculty will be at the cutting edge of change, to incubate companies, to create NGOs, and
pursue any field of their passion. Our education will also be holistic. Sports and physical exercise must be a
firm part of the curriculum. For students to develop a love for sports, for recreation, for health, for teamwork, for
competition. Our education will also instil an appreciation for art and culture. In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjun asks
Krishna how is one to control one's mind that is as fleeting as the wind. Krishna responds that it can only be
done through practice and discipline. We will strive to teach our students to learn to stay calm in our turbulent
world. And our education will also include the ancient Indian tradition, its culture, its depth, and its knowledge.
We must keep the connection with our mother tongue and our languages. Languages are storehouses of culture,
and the loss of a language takes with it much learning, stored through it over the ages. Finally, our education
will help students lead a full life, to fall in love with life. Our dream is to build a world class research and teaching
institution that is global in the reach of its ideas, and universal in its service. Welcome to our community.

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Ready - For the New World

“It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is
most adaptable to change”
- Charles Darwin.

A report by McKinsey Global Institute from September 2019 with the title, “Future of Asia” states that Asia is
increasingly becoming the world’s centre and by the year 2040, Asia will account for 52 percent of global GDP
in terms of purchasing power parity and 54 percent of global consumption. These projected data figures repre-
sent incredible opportunities and challenges related to growth, disruption and innovation.
In the new world, technology and traditions will play a key role in driving change and integrating different
aspects of trade and society. This requires professionally trained managers with expertise in technology
enabled processes and softer aspects of empathy and collaborative spirit.
K J Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research (SIMSR), located in the heart of Mumbai in a
beautifully landscaped campus and now part of Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU), is in the forefront as a
leading business school in India, capable of providing the best inputs to young budding managers.
From Bloomberg labs to holistic self-management, analytics to leadership labs, creative strategy building to
risk management, cross-cultural management to digital communication, international diplomacy and so on, all
subjects are covered in depth. A fully residential campus with world-class sports facilities and opportunities for
experiential learning complete the pedagogical range.
The institute has grown in the past 38 years as offering sector-specific MBA programmes and executive educa-
tion for reskilling of corporate managers. We are now offering for admissions the PGDM-28th BATCH / PGD-

tion among all our stakeholders in India and abroad.
