S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research

Inaugurated in 1981 by the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher,[3] SPJIMR had modest beginnings as a small extension of the campus of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.[4] The institute was named after Sahu Shreyans Prasad Jain of the Sahu Jain family, who financed the institution in its early years. At the time of its establishment, SPJIMR was among the three business schools in Mumbai.[5] After financing from the Sahu Jain family stopped, the institute disaffiliated itself from Bombay University to provide itself with more freedom in curriculum decision-making and pedagogy design.[6] SPJIMR is a part of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and operates out of its campus at Munshi Nagar, Dadabhai Road, Andheri West, Mumbai.

SPJIMR offers several postgraduate full-time programmes, such as the Global Management Programme,[7][8] the Executive Management Programme,[9] and the Family Managed Business Programme.[10] There are also short-term programs such as the Start Your Business Programme, the Grow Your Business Programme,[11] and several Management Development Programmes.[12]
