Mumbai: Indian Institute of Management Mumbai ( IIM Mumbai ) on Wednesday said it has submitted a proposal to the Maharashtra government for establishment of a satellite campus in or around Mumbai.

The proposed satellite campus will offer a suite of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes with a focus on disciplines such as economics, accounting and finance, technology and data science, and law and regulation, the premier institute said in a statement.

The proposal includes a detailed financial and infrastructure plan to the Department of Higher and Technical Education of Maharashtra.

This strategic initiative is aimed at integrating interdisciplinary research with future-ready pedagogy, in line with the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which champions flexibility, innovation and holistic development in higher education. It aligns with the state's visionary " Viksit Maharashtra 2047 " roadmap and is set to propel Mumbai as a global nerve centre for finance, policy, technology and academic excellence.

"This proposal represents a rare opportunity to institutionalise excellence in management education with a core emphasis on finance and technology. The proximity to regulators and key institutions will provide students with unmatched exposure and engagement with live policy, innovation, and industry frameworks - essential for shaping leadership for the future," IIM Mumbai Director Manoj K Tiwari said.
