It all began in 1962. Vivekanand Education Society (VES) – a premier education institution came into being. Conceptualized and instituted by a great humanitarian and visionary Late Shri. Hashu Advani, VES was one of the first educational institutions in Mumbai that made education accessible to students from all strata of society.

The journey that began with just 256 students is today expanded to include 20,000 students who enroll in various courses across 21 educational institutions run by VES. The year 1994 was a milestone year in the history of VES. A new-age business school-Vivekanand Education Society Institute of Management Studies and Research (VESIM) was instituted on 31st march 1994. Currently, the student intake is 180 students in MMS, and 60 in PGDM. However, with the recent NBA accreditation, the institute is planning to extend the intake by 60 seats in PGDM, thereby making it 120 students/batch. This expansion will help the institute to help more deserving students, who are aiming glorious corporate careers.

Since the inception, VESIM has been at the forefront of business studies, developing business leaders who strive to make a positive impact on: companies they work with, people they meet, and the society they serve.

VESIM’s success as one of the leading business schools in Mumbai is due to its humanistic approach to management education. The approach is complemented by a state-of-the-art infrastructure, world-class faculty, and transformative pedagogic practices, an interactive and experiential teaching methodology, and a growing distinguished alumni network of professionals who are equipped to lead their business or organisations into the future.

The Institute strives to create socially responsible business leaders of tomorrow. The campus offers a positive environment for learning, as well as personal, professional, and intellectual growth.
