We are very proud when we state that new India starts here!

At LM Thapar School of Management (LM TSM) we dream, we design, we architect and we build, we are on a journey developing ideas, training minds, challenging thoughts and stretching possibilities. Our ultimate goal is developing corporate and community leaders for defining and building the new India and ultimately the new world of our dreams. We dream the new India to be a model state grounded in the ethos of sustainability and inclusiveness. The right place for a great nation and a model for every institution in the world.

As we all know that both businesses and business schools are going through a phase of soul searching. After 2008 financial crisis businesses world over are dealing with a trust deficit and business schools are facing a relevance gap. At LM TSM we are ready to take up both these challenges, in fact we courageously stand not only to change the way world conducts business but also the way business schools engage the world! We are convinced that creating a new world business order must start at home and an old nation like India is the right place to start this revolution.

We are a different kind of business school. We understand the power of uniqueness and independent thinking. We constantly strive to develop curriculum to meet specific needs of individual students. Ours is a school of independent and critical thinkers. Here at LM TSM we will never take “no” for an answer. We are constantly pushing boundaries and stretching limits, thoughts or actions. We invite you to join us at LMTSM to be the architects and builders of this new India and a new Indian business model embedded in our cultural realities and contemporary aspirations.

At LM TSM, first and foremost, we take our students through a journey of self-discovery. Every student will start with an independent study, Exploring Your Theory of Life, with a faculty mentor of their choice. This exploration is just the beginning of a long journey of self-discovery to finding the right attitude for becoming effective professionals for the world of corporations and communities.

Above all we power our passion for excellence with the help of a group of dedicated teachers drawn from all over India and we are frequented by an impressive list of scholars and teachers from countries such as the Netherlands, Finland, Japan, USA and South Korea. Through the dedication, creativity and hard work of our students, faculty and all our supporting staff we have created an extraordinary learning environment for all those courageous young minds who are willing to live up to their dreams. This is augmented by a world class academic and residential campus near Chandigarh.

We invite you to visit us and experience our passion for excellence and our commitment to architecting a new business world order!
