History
[edit]S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) was inaugurated in 1981 by the then British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, as the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Institute for Master of Management Studies. Students from the first batch of 1983 were placed in several top companies, including BPCL, HDFC Ltd., Johnson & Johnson, Wipro, Asian Paints, Nerolac Paints Ltd, and Godrej & Boyce. In 1986, Dr. M.L. Shrikant joined the institute as the Dean and led SPJIMR for almost three decades, introducing new and innovative methods of teaching and imparting management education.
In 1992, SPJIMR acquired autonomous status. Post the institute’s delinking from Mumbai University, the MMS programme was renamed PGDM. In 1994 and 1995, new programmes - Development of Corporate Citizenship (DoCC) and ADMAP (Assessment and Development of Managerial and Administrative Potential) were launched respectively.In 1998, SPJIMR launched Gita Shibir led by Dr. M. L. Shrikant. The programme has now been renamed ‘Science of Spirituality’.In 2009, the PGDM programme was awarded NBA accreditation. In 2010, SPJIMR’s three programmes were given AMBA accreditation. In 2023, a total of 6 programmes got AMBA accreditation.In June 2015, Dr. M.L. Shrikant was succeeded by Dr. Ranjan Banerjee as the Dean of the institute.In 2016, SPJIMR set up a Design Thinking Lab to make learning more relevant and practical.
In 2018, SPJIMR received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The Delhi centre was also inaugurated in the same year with long-term and short-term programmes. In 2019, a new building was inaugurated with state-of-the-art classrooms, group work rooms, a Design Thinking Lab, a new library, and an MDP room. It also has a new auditorium named after Dr. M. L. Shrikant.March 2020 saw the world grapple with COVID-19 bringing life to a halt. SPJIMR was among the few institutes that got all the programmes online within 24 hours of the lockdown. Academics, inaugurations, farewells, and meetings went online seamlessly.In September 2021, Dr. Varun Nagaraj took over as the Dean of the institute.
In 2022, SPJIMR launched the four prestigious Centres of Practice: Centre for Innovation in Sustainable Development (CISD); Centre for Family Business and Entrepreneurship (CFBE);Centre for Financial Innovation (CFI), and Centre for Wisdom in Leadership (CWIL).The same year, PGP-MBM - an accelerated management programme for executives with less than five years of work experience was launched. In August 2022, the PGDM Business Management (BM) batch was inaugurated. In 2023, SPJIMR introduced the PGDM online programme. This online programme is specifically designed for professionals who wish to pursue formal management education while maintaining their jobs and residing in their current locations.
In July 2023, SPJIMR Centre for Financial Innovation (CFI) inaugurated the Sunil Bhatia Start-up Hub. In January 2024, SPJIMR’s Post Graduate Executive Programme in Fintech, Blockchain, AI/ML & Data Science (PGEPF) welcomed its first cohort.
Logo
[edit]SPJIMR’s logo unveiled in 2016 has five upward strokes representing the five personality attributes of the SPJIMR brand – authentic, dynamic, grounded, innovative, and socially sensitive.
Values
[edit]- Our values guide each of us at SPJIMR to act with courage and heart and live our mission – ‘to influence managerial practice and promote value-based growth’.

Advancing Wise Innovation
[edit]SPJIMR acknowledges that traditional notions of innovation need to expand to consider a broader set of stakeholders, which requires wisdom, insight, and enlightenment. And hence, the pursuit at SPJIMR centres on “wise innovation.” This concept goes beyond mere novelty; it requires a nuanced understanding of innovation’s broader impact and implications.
