Rizvi Institute of Management was founded in 1994 as an educational institution to prepare students for successful careers in business & corporate world. This professional, coeducational, independent institution is without doubt, the most valued Management Institute in Mumbai & also in the entire nation.
Spearheaded under the leadership & guidance of Prof Kalim Khan (In-charge Director), this College has slowly worked its way to the top. It has all the modern day facility that a management institute must have. In terms of library holdings, computer facilities and other supporting services, Rizvi Management Institutes ranks high among the several best schools in the country. The teaching methodologies and course material are continuously updated to reflect the changing requirements of business environment. Wide use is being made of case studies, project work, field visits, syndicate discussions, shared experiences and simulation exercises. Rizvi Management institute has a dedicated faculty base, which is ever ready to assist the students with their experience, linkages and expertise.
At Rizvi Management Institute, every effort is extended to assist students in expanding their personal development and in increasing their gratification of college life. Class work is supplemented with a variety of extra-curricular activities, students committee and college sponsored events. These activities are normally coordinated and organized by Dr C.G D’Lima (Director) and Prof Kalim Khan (In-charge Director) along with the other committee members who work closely to create a better competitive future for the students.
The faculty members are professionals who are only interested in developing a better studying environment for students. Their purpose is to prepare students for rewarding employment & they do so with the most modern instructional methods & teaching equipment available. Let me describe some of the professors who have made Rizvi what it is today….
Prof Kalim Khan(In-charge Director): Leadership is an elusive quality-- hard to define, difficult to create but one knows it when one sees it. Prof Kalim Khan is a social inventor & a leader in building teams that successfully addresses human needs & also takes initiative to change educational outlook. He is the kind of professor who is disgustingly sweet. He wishes everyone a happy this or that (This is no exaggeration). And it’s a known fact throughout Mumbai that the astonishing success of Rizvi in recent years totally belongs to Prof Kalim Khan….
Prof Cyrus Gonda: Wow, what a man!!!……This lovely human being knows everything of everything (Literally!!!). I believe that he is perhaps, the only one who knows the date when zero was invented. He reads at least three books daily (or six if he is awake) on some topic that is very interesting to him. It could be on the effect of Cyber Crimes in India, effect of JIT techniques on Indian companies or the effect of planet's positions on house plants (Seriously…He can talk on any subject)…
Prof Sonali Tipre: This mystifying innovative professor, a member of the Rizvi family, is an interesting human being. Even though she is a professor of ‘Accounts’; she can tactfully manage & handle the future CEO’s of this nation with grace & elegance. Apart from teaching & managing her students, she also occasionally posts liquid oxygen joke & some jokes about her students & their girl friends. When serious, she will wonder why do we have only 24 hours in a day or why are there only 6500 books in our college library.
Prof N Sequira: This guy has an opinion on everything, from tiger's mating calls to organizational behavior. And most of the time his opinions are piquant and non-controversial. To say Prof Sequira hasn’t earned his stardom amongst the students is like saying Bill Gates “got lucky'' with Microsoft.
Of course, I haven't included other admirable professors such as Prof Ganachari, Prof Chester, Prof Tabrez, Prof Kanvinde and others….Maybe some other time.
Guest lectures & Seminars are a regular event in the campus delivered by renowned associates of the business community in their area of proficiency. Apart from these guest lectures & seminars; we also have other events organized by the Institute. Acumen (The Annual Case Study competition), Saksham (Corporate Seminars & Panel Discussions), Impression (The Annual HR conference) and Post Budget Analysis by K.R Choksey are some of the events organized to facilitate students.
With this I’ll end my review….If this description has intrigued you, you will definitely want to learn more about Rizvi Institute of Management………
