Director’s Message

SCMHRD

It is a privilege to serve as the Director of Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development (SCMHRD), an institution that has earned lasting respect for its academic quality, strong values, and meaningful engagement with the world of practice. SCMHRD’s strength lies in the collective efforts of its faculty, students, alumni, and partners, whose contributions have shaped its identity over the years.

In a business environment that is increasingly complex and dynamic, management education must help students move beyond concepts and develop the ability to think clearly, solve problems, and make sound decisions. At SCMHRD, our focus is on nurturing structured thinking, practical judgement, and a problem-solving mindset that enables students to respond effectively to real organisational challenges.

As part of this approach, we are thoughtfully integrating the use of technology in management education. Digital tools and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, are being introduced as enablers to improve analysis, support decision-making, and enhance learning experiences. These tools are used with care and purpose, reinforcing the idea that technology should assist managers in thinking better, not replace human insight, ethics, or responsibility.

Our teaching and learning processes place strong emphasis on application—through case discussions, simulations, projects, industry interaction, and experiential learning—so that students learn to connect theory with practice. Alongside this, we remain committed to research, reflection, and continuous improvement, ensuring that our academic work remains relevant and grounded.

The spirit of SCMHRD is defined by its people. Our students bring curiosity and ambition, our faculty bring dedication and mentorship, our alumni carry the institution’s values into diverse roles, and our partners support our shared purpose. Together, we will continue to strengthen SCMHRD while upholding the Symbiosis ethos of integrity, inclusivity, mutual respect, and social responsibility.

I invite all stakeholders to be active participants in this journey, as SCMHRD works steadily towards preparing thoughtful, capable, and responsible leaders for the future.
