What to expect at SIMSR?

Located in the heart of the city Mumbai, KJ SIMSR is not just an educational institute. It’s a home to thousands of students from across the country coming together to achieve the best learning experience of their lives. 


With such diversity, SIMSR has made sure that every student explores his hidden talents and brings out his skills to showcase for all to see. To facilitate this, SIMSR has 28 student-driven committees and clubs. These committee and clubs focus on the holistic development of the students. The committees are divided into 4 broad categories namely, core committees, subject/area specific committees, committees focused on the professional growth of the students and committees focused on the cultural development of the students. These committees and clubs are entirely driven by the students of SIMSR under the guidance of their faculty mentors. They organise intra-college as well as inter-college events and competitions on a regular basis to give a feel of the professional world out there and help bring out the best in them. 


SIMSR is the institution that involves students to provide the required intellectual and experiential stimulation. From Admission Committee to Placement Committee or Marketing Committee to Finance Committee, students work with dedication and rigour taking SIMSR to new heights. While Toastmasters Club helps us diversify and expand our knowledge about the industry and regular interactions also helps us strengthen our communication and networking skills, Consultacy@SIMSR - The Consulting club gives us the opportunity to work on high quality consulting services to business enterprises, entrepreneurs and voluntary organizations.


SIMSR supports the students in all their extra-curricular as well as co-curricular activities which helps them become the best for the future. They can continue their passions, interest and hobbies along with the rigorous management curriculum which keeps them fresh and on their toes.


All the above coupled with the best in class faculty, competitive peers and the choice of a wide variety of electives add significant value and help students develop a strong business instinct to become an excellent management professional.

Though we might not be able to bring about a green revolution like Dr. Bourlog but we surely aim to infuse a revolution by taking initiatives like Anna Daan, inspiring people to contribute towards mitigating hunger.

As one of the events of Joy of Giving week celebration, Enactus Somaiya Social Cell in association with ESBEE Hospitality services and Robin Hood Army organized food donation drive to ensure one meal availability for the underprivileged section of the society.

Because everyone has a story

Chapter I

Richa Chaturvedi

All About Your Choices

Sometimes when you look back, you suddenly feel so great about the choices you made which for once or for a second you feared about, but ultimately it’s your choices that take you to places you want to go. Today, going back to the memory lane and penning my thoughts down, I do feel great about what I chose and where I’ve come.

From starting my primary education from a Hindi medium school in a small district, to shifting to a new city, to facing all the vernacular language hurdles, to being a laughing spot for all the sophisticated students around (who defined their sophistication by their ability to speak fluent English where I could not), to becoming the Head Girl of the same school where I was a laughing spot once, to going the unconventional way and opting for commerce in a city called Kota where studying there is synonymous to being an IITian or pursuing engineering to say the least, to moving to Delhi (which people dread to live in for obvious reasons) for undergraduate course, to doing the craziest things in the 3 years of graduation (which is called the best time of life and it holds true for everyone) and eventually getting a job in one of the most desired companies. Roller coaster ride indeed!

But the actual battle started now. People say that when you grow up, you need to make tough decisions and to my surprise, I thought I had grown up (not by age for sure). A well-reputed job which could land me in the US in 2 years to come or a 2 year MBA program where I could live, laugh and learn. Where there were multiple opinions echoing day and night in my head about job security, future opportunities, getting married and settling down (the most annoying yet the most common one), I somewhere had my heart and mind on one thing and I went to the office the next day and clicked “I submit my resignation” button. I don’t have words to describe that feeling but that click (literally) set me free as never before.

Yes, I was finally going to do an MBA. Although it sounds very exciting and rosy at this point, all those CAT, XAT etc. (which sound like a nightmare now), the taxing admission process actually takes a toll on you and I’m sure the people who are doing an MBA would very well get it right. But in the middle of this hustle and bustle, I always had this desire to study in Mumbai (reason being – “Mumbai ki baat hi alag hai”. This city has got its own vibe which cannot be explained but can only be felt). That’s when KJ SIMSR happened. I think God was being too generous to me.

As I come to the end of it, I get a lump in my throat realizing that the college (the place and phase where I learnt a lot, laughed my heart out and of course lived it to the core) is about to get over but at the same time I feel so overwhelmed to have gotten (both professionally and personally) so much that there was no scope I could ask for more.

In the end and not sounding too dramatic or poetic, I would just say that do not fit in or try to fit in or adjust in other’s place of happiness, rather find your own. And I think all this way, I found mine!

Because everyone has a story

Chapter I

Story by: 

Akshay Vichare (Aakshay Vadapav)


Slowing Down the Rajdhani Express 


“What? I didn't understand a word you said!” complained the Interview panel at one of the premier IIMs, my intimidating HR, everyone on a phone call and my mom. I wanted to express myself, but was always mocked for the speech rate of a  ‘Rajdhani Express ‘ & was subject to ridicule amongst my friends & family.


Born in a family of cops, frequent transfers meant I had to shift across cities making new friends, always devoid of stability. What made it worse was that I used to speak at super fast rate of 250 words/min, whereas the normal speech rate is 120-180 words/min. Result being - people used to laugh at the way I spoke. I started assuming the personality of Jester - one whose only life purpose is to crack jokes and make people happy at  his own expense. But I wasn't happy! I found comfort in Vada Pav - It was sugar, spice and everything nice. I started writing about Vada Pav which led to people calling me Akshay Vadapav.


Things got real serious when I joined KJSIMSR for my MBA. Everyone seemed to be in a  hurry to get placed in the best company & score the highest marks. I had to do something now! So I started interacting with almost everyone in college with small talks & used to practice their style for hours. One day, I happened to attend a Toast Masters  meet  & gave my first table topics speech for 2 minutes. I had no stage fear but was critical of my speaking rate. Despite giving a speech with other ace speakers, I won! 


Things took a dramatic turn since then, shedding my inhibitions I realised my new found love for public speaking. I rehearsed for hours at end and managed to slow down my speech rate by 70%. I started speaking about my love - Vadapav on public platforms instead of words & pictures. Now Vada Pav is my second name & Public Speaker is what they call me! 


The Rajdhani Express has finally slowed down !
