S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) is a graduate business school located in Mumbai, India. Founded by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in 1981, SPJIMR is on the Bhavan's campus in the Andheri suburb of Mumbai.
SPJIMR offers two programmes equivalent to an MBA degree: two-year PGDM and one-year PGPM programmes. Other programmes include Family Managed Business (FMB) and Executive Management Program (EMP, similar to EMBA). The institute offers short-term courses for specialized needs.
The institute has started two international campuses, one in Dubai (2004) and the other in Singapore (2006), managed under the name S P Jain Center of Management (SPJCM).
Inaugurated in 1981 by the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, SPJIMR had modest beginnings as a small extension of the Bhavan's campus (of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan). 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 India. After the financing from the Sahu Jain family stopped, the dean Manesh Shrikant decided to make the institute self-sufficient by offering better courses which the management education aspirants would find more attractive. The institute disaffiliated itself from Bombay University to provide itself with more freedom in curriculum decision-making and pedagogy design. Since 1994–95, it has been ranked consistently among the top 10 B-schools of India.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, SPJIMR enhanced its infrastructure to incorporate IT-enabled education through 24-hour Internet connectivity in hostels and a virtual library.
In the 2000s, the institute established two international campuses in Dubai and Singapore. During this period, it established ties with professional associations such as the Project Management Institute and corporations such as GE to offer specialised courses.
