Brief History

SIMSREE's parent institute, Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics is one of the most renowned commerce colleges in India. Established in October 1913, Sydenham College, commenced its journey as the first college of commerce in Asia. It was named after the then-governor of Bombay, Lord Sydenham of Combe, who was an early proponent in the spread of commerce-based vocational courses in India. Thus, Sydenham College became the oldest degree-awarding institution in commerce. SIMSREE was established in 1983, carrying forward the rich legacy of Sydenham College. K. S. Aiyar acted as first honorary principal of the college. It was only in 1941, twenty-eight years after the establishment of Sydenham College, that any other institutes started offering courses in the subject.
The motto of college is "Labor Omnia Vincit" and in Sanskrit, "Samudyogo Hi Vishvajita".The college administration is under the purview of the government of Maharashtra.
On the college's seventy-fifth anniversary in 1988, the Indian Post Office issued a commemorative stamp. In 1990, the TIME magazine regarded Sydenham College as the "Best Commerce College on this side of the Suez".
Today, SIMSREE has earned its reputation for fostering managerial acumen and entrepreneurship skills among its students, cultivating a student-driven culture which inculcates a sense of responsibility and accountability for aspiring managers.
SIMSREE, being under the direct supervision of the Government of Maharashtra, provides students with the requisite corporate exposure and guidance from renowned faculty while charging nominal fees, making it one of the best colleges in terms of return-on-investment for students.
