A Rustic Charm

Over 250 plant species plus a campus lake

SPJIMR in the heart of Mumbai sits in a campus that also hosts two engineering colleges, an arts, science & commerce college, a school, faculty and student housing, a temple, a yoga centre, an amphitheatre, an adventure centre and open grounds.

None of this is in a luxurious setting; the campus is more seen as rustic, unspoilt and natural, and wears the charm of the unvarnished.

Mangoes can drop in season right into the courtyard of SPJIMR and elsewhere, offering a local variety fruit that is particularly succulent and sought after.

The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's cultural centre has events often lined up in the SPJIMR auditorium, attracting a wide range of Mumbaikars who love theatre, music and a variety of films. This has turned SPJIMR into a cultural hub in Andheri, the suburb where the campus is located. The events and the audience they attract lend their own charm in the evenings, when most of the events are held.

The sight of old timers sipping coffee during the late evening break, standing not far from management students working their cases, projects and events, frames the unhurried with the hurried; the modern with the older times.

In the midst of all this is a lake, with a well crafted front end that becomes the stage for many student events through the year, particularly jam sessions and music nights.

The campus has 250 species of plants and 72 species of birds, making it a naturalist's delight. The shrubs and greenery also conceal four species of snakes.
