Our Mission We recognise our twin roles – as a responsible member of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and as a responsive member of Indian society at large – and look at ourselves in a wider context as a 'Beyond MBA' institution. We aspire to be a globally recognised institute with concurrent presence in socially relevant segments of Indian society. We emphasize 'Influencing practice' and 'Promoting value-based growth', which remain the guiding posts for planning and execution in all that we do. In all our endeavours, we emphasize (i) attitudes and skills as much as knowledge, (ii) indigenous learner-centric pedagogy, and (iii) global best practices. Our attempt is to synthesize the apparent contradictions between western efficiency and eastern ethos, and competition and collaboration. We believe this could be a global model one day. As a self-reliant institution, we seek operational freedom and encourage an entrepreneurial, agile and flexible organizational culture working on a collaborative pursuit of innovative solutions. SPJIMR community strives to realize the objectives of the institution through self-accountability, professional discipline and hard work. 1
