The Kirloskar Group has always emphasized the value of education as a cornerstone of progress. We understand that empowering individuals with knowledge and skills is crucial for both personal development and societal advancement. This belief aligns perfectly with our institution’s mission: to foster a culture of inquiry, innovation, and ethical leadership.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to integrating the values exemplified by the Kirloskar Group into our educational framework. Our focus will be on equipping students with the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex world. We aim to nurture not just competent professionals, but also responsible citizens who are ready to contribute to India’s growth story.

Vice President's Message
As we stand at the crossroads of transformation in higher education in India, I want to take a moment to reflect on the exciting changes that lie ahead for our business school and how we are positioning ourselves for the future.
The landscape of higher education is evolving rapidly, influenced by the National Education Policy (NEP) and the increasing demand for innovative and adaptable learning environments. The NEP aims to create a holistic and multidisciplinary education system, fostering critical thinking and entrepreneurship among students. In this spirit of innovation, our school is embarking on a comprehensive ‘refresh’ to ensure we remain at the forefront of these developments.
With the unwavering support of the Kirloskar Group, we are enhancing our curriculum and pedagogy to align with industry needs and expectations. The Kirloskar Group’s rich legacy in engineering and manufacturing not only provides us with invaluable insights but also fosters a strong industry-academia connect that is essential for nurturing future leaders. This partnership empowers us to create experiential learning opportunities, internships, and projects that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
As we take our school into the next orbit, we are committed to fostering an environment where innovation thrives, and students are encouraged to think creatively and critically. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate an ever-changing global business landscape.
We are excited about this journey and look forward to the limitless possibilities that await us.
