Established in 1995 in the holy city of Varanasi (Kashi), SMS Varanasi has carved a unique identity as both a new-age B-School and a center of academic heritage. Founded during the transformative era of India's economic liberalization, it holds the distinction of being the first self-financed institution of its kind in the region. Over the years, the institution has continued to thrive, combining the ethos of ancient learning with the pragmatism of modern management education.
