Our Story
A Legacy of Values-Based Management Education
Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD), a premier B School located in Mysuru, was established in 1993 with the objective of providing quality management education based on a firm foundation of Indian values and ethics.
SDMIMD is promoted by Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational Trust, a much admired non-profit educational trust that runs over 40 recognised educational institutions in Karnataka, including Engineering, Medical and Dental colleges. Part of the venerable 700 year old Shri Dharmasthala Temple, the Trust under the able leadership of our visionary Chairman, Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade has played an active role in empowering people and bettering the lives of communities in Karnataka.
SDMIMD's PGDM Program is accredited by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) — EFMD-EPAS programme accreditation. The Institute is also a Member of AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) bringing it on a contact base with leading B Schools of the world.
SDMIMD is only the second school in the country to be assessed for comprehensive impact assessment and has been awarded BSIS (Business School Impact System) certification by EFMD. The Institute also has Diamond Rating by QS-I Gauge, Indian wing of the global ranking agency QS World Rankings, London.
The students of SDMIMD are much sought after by the industry not only for their intellectual capability, but also for their values and ethos. This is validated by the 100% placement that the Institute has been achieving consistently.
