Welcome to Sydenham Institute

The Heritage

SIMSREE boasts of having some of the most illustrious alumni compared to all the other B-Schools. SIMSREE alumni are amongst the who’s who of the corporate world today. They have risen to stratospheric heights with the foundation that they got from SIMSREE and justly serve as a treasure trove of inspiration to the current students, who would do well to emulate them, and keep the SIMSREE banner flying high.

"I have been fortunate to study at SIMSREE which taught me to be Enterprising and Entrepreneurial in my attitude towards work by giving free hand in learning and participating in all the activities of the Institute. The Insitute brought the best out of me and enabled me to become a multi-dimensional personality. If I am reasonably successful in my career, it is only due to these learning from the Institute. I will always cherish the two years at the Institute." Mr. Dhananjayan, CEO - Film Business, Moser Baer Entertainment

The DNA of SIMSREE is defined by the way it allows its students to participate in the running of the affairs of the institute. In true sense it encourages entrepreneurship - one thing that is lacking in the formal curriculum. It give confidence and self belief in doing what is right, somethings that fundamental for success when one enters the business world. These qualities are understated, may be because of its modesty - another trait rare to find today. I am proud that I studied at SIMSREE and grateful for all it did for preparing me for the business world.
