About School

Jyotirmoy School of Business under of the Jyotirmoy Education & Welfare Foundation is a part of the triumvirate of colleges established in Sonarpur, Kolkata.

It’s founder president Dr. Partha Sarathi Ganguli had already done much work in the promotion of inter country & inter university academic programs. This experience moved him to visualize a school which will truly draw from all the best facets of management practices in the East & West.

Traditionally management practices have always had a Western bias but with the economic axis changing slowly towards the east as China & India develop as the fastest growing economic countries there will be some sort of a shakeout as companies scramble to understand the dynamics & ethos which drive business in the South East Asian region.

Jyotirmoy Business School will focus on creating strengths through strong interuniversity alliances thereby broadening the horizons of the students to alternate methods & ways of thinking. It’s students will be strong architects of the new era of business which is dawning in the east.
