Padmabhushan Shri K. J. Somaiya
(1902-1999)
There is no religion 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.

Somaiya Vidyavihar encompasses 34 institutions,

with more than 39,000 students and 1,500 faculty.
Its educational institutes are spread across two main
campuses - a 50 acre complex in Vidyavihar and a
28 acre complex in Sion both located in the heart of
Mumbai besides a number of smaller campuses across
rural Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat. Currently
we offer Degree, Diploma & Certificate courses at
Undergraduate, Post Graduate and Doctoral levels.

Somaiya Vidyavihar also runs a few autonomous

Post-Graduate Courses, Vocational Training Courses
and High Schools.

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’.

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.

Shri Samir Somaiya’s Message

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 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 39,000 students.

Our motto is: ञानादेवतुकैवल्यम् || 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

Shri Samir will reflect its timeless fundamentals, its current context, and
applications. There is so much scientific discovery taking place

Vice Chancellor’s Message

I have great pleasure in welcoming the prospective

management education aspirants to the Somaiya
Vidyavihar University (SVU) , Mumbai for their studies in
the University’s KJ Somaiya Institute of Management.

The subject of Management as an academic and

professional discipline has been undergoing revolutionary
changes during the last few decades. Appropriate
knowledge and skills are necessary to manage the rapid
changing times and technologies in a globalized and
interconnected world. We are in an era when knowledge
is expanding at an unprecedented rate. Mastering
theoretical, experimental and practical management and
business skills through effective education programmes is
indispensable for developing core competencies and for
giving the students a competitive edge. For maximization
of the opportunities for the cost effective management

Director’s Message

Ready For the New World

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 represent
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.
