Welcome to SOIL Institute of Management!
At SOIL, we host a journey to enable you to take responsibility for your dreams. By making you “Aware” of your gifts and your “Purpose” we facilitate a process to craft an “Individual Development Plan” in which you learn to leverage your strengths to become better at aspects that matter to you.
We challenge you to get out of your “Comfort Zone” transcend your fears and develop greater self-confidence. We expose you to a unique curriculum that utilizes pedagogy based on multiple intelligences (creativity, emotional quotient, aesthetics) to develop “whole systems thinking”, strong character and the enthusiasm to give your heart in the face of criticism, fear of failure and obstacles. This is driven by our deep commitment to the vision, developing leaders who take responsibility for the state of the world.
We enable a “Learning Community” in which some of the finest mentors from industry, outstanding faculty from all over the world and our deeply committed full-time team of staff and teachers partner to provide a truly transformational experience. As a school co-created by some of the finest organizations, both global and Indian. our curriculum is continuously changed to anticipate the needs of the world Digital transformation, Design thinking, and technology human interface are aspects that are the centre of this focus.
Internships, projects and boot camps help in developing practical skills in marketing, finance. HR and supply chain disciplines.
From the unique “morning circle” in SOIL in which we begin each day by holding hands and connecting to all to the week-long journey to the Himalayas to learn from the community and living in a beautiful spiritual retreat centre, the once a week practice of “Social Innovation” by serving NGOs and the week-long theatre-based simulations to exploring values. The SOIL PG program is a life-changing experience.
We take great pride in celebrating the impact being made by over 1800+ alumni of our full-time Post Graduate Programs and 14000+ alumni of our executive education programs. With our newly formed partnership with SHIZENKAN UNIVERSITY in Japan, founded by the well known Harvard professor Dr Tomo Noda, ardour current relationships with schools such as MIP, we offer a unique educational experience that is unparalleled.
I welcome you to the process of “self-discovery” which you will experience in our unique “Admissions process” based on “Talent Appreciation”.
