- Transforming the portfolio of programs that we offer by creating short-term programs in skilling students in specific areas while strengthening our flagship programs like the MBA and Executive MBA and thus making young people more employable (Human Sustainability)
- Induct teachers with passion and depth of management knowledge and an ability to mentor students (Knowledge Sustainability)

- Lifting disadvantaged people by offering new types of support to women in training them to be confident entrepreneurs (Talent Sustainability).
- Delivering superior financial returns (Financial Sustainability)
Dean's Message
Prof. (Dr.) Rajiv Ranjan
Dean, School of Commerce and Management Studies - PG
IIM Ahmedabad | UT Austin | EY Alumnus
The world is building AI. At Dayananda Sagar University, we are building the AI Factory—and at SCMS (PG), we are preparing leaders who can put that intelligence to work.
It is my privilege to welcome you to the School of Commerce and Management Studies – PG (SCMS-PG), Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru.
Management education is at an inflection point. Artificial Intelligence, analytics, automation, sustainability and new business models are fundamentally reshaping organisations and careers. A contemporary business school must therefore go beyond teaching management—it must prepare students to understand change, lead change and create the future.
At SCMS (PG), our aspiration is to build a transdisciplinary, AI-native, research-intensive and industry-connected B-School. Our MBA combines the enduring foundations of Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations and Strategy with future-facing domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Business Analytics, FinTech and Entrepreneurship. Our objective is not merely to teach AI as another subject, but to develop managers who can think, decide, innovate and lead effectively in an AI-first world.
This ambition is strengthened by the larger Dayananda Sagar ecosystem—a NAAC A+ University, powered by advanced AI computing capabilities, six cutting-edge Centres of Excellence and a strong innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem including DERBI and AIC-DSU. Located in Bengaluru, India’s technology and innovation capital, close to Electronic City, we have the distinct advantage of operating alongside one of the world’s most dynamic ecosystems of multinational corporations, technology enterprises and start-ups.
Our journey ahead is anchored in five interconnected priorities: Research Intensity, Industry Readiness, Internationalisation, Consulting and Entrepreneurial Mindset, underpinned by Ethics, Responsibility and Society (ERS). We seek to create an environment where research addresses real problems, industry enters the classroom, students work on live challenges, entrepreneurship becomes a mindset and international exposure broadens perspectives.
At the centre of everything we do, however, are two commitments:
Outstanding Student Experience. Outstanding Career Readiness.
Through industry-integrated learning, internships, live projects, professional development, mentorship, corporate engagement and career preparation, we want every student to leave SCMS not simply with a degree, but with the competence, confidence, character and adaptability required to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
Dayananda Sagar carries a legacy of more than a century of enterprise and philanthropy and over six decades of contribution to education and healthcare. We now have the opportunity to build upon that legacy and create a business school for the next generation—one that contributes meaningfully to Viksit Bharat 2047, the IndiaAI Mission, Make in India and India’s emerging leadership in frontier technologies.
Our aspiration is larger than preparing young people for jobs. We want to help create leaders, researchers, consultants and entrepreneurs who build globally competitive organisations and solve problems that matter to India and the world.
We invite students, faculty, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and global partners to join us in this journey.
We are not merely preparing students for the future of work. We aspire to prepare them to create it.
Welcome to SCMS (PG), Dayananda Sagar University—
where management meets technology, knowledge meets practice, and ambition meets opportunity.
Best wishes!
