Within this context, Somaiya Vidyavihar provides educational opportunities to all qualified students to discover and disseminate 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.

2.Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message 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 professionals 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 environment 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 innovations 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 confirms 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! 4

4.INSTITUTE PHILOSOPHY Knowledge Alone Liberates 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.
