SNDT Women's University
The SNDT Women’s University (SNDT WU), established in 1916 with five women students is 100 years old (1916-2016); has always served the cause of women embracing changes and staying relevant through these 100 years. In one hundred years of its glorious service, the SNDT Women’s University has mentored and educated lakhs of women students in various disciplines. However, times have changed. The need to scale up both in quality and in quantity is tremendous when new avenues of knowledge are opening up for women. JDBIMS is one such effort of SNDT WU to empower women through Management Education.
Jankidevi Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JDBIMS)
JDBIMS established in 1997, with a donation from the generous Bajaj Family, has trained over a thousand women professionals in management. This is a remarkable contribution. However, if we look at the population, the composition, the need and the representation of women in the upper echelons of management, this contribution is dismal. Therefore, JDBIMS strives to collaborate with Institutions and individuals for providing better service to the society. The present joint effort of JDBIMS and Media Lab Asia to hold a one day Symposium on ’Disruptive Technologies and Management Challenges’ is a proof of it.
