[edit] Biography
M S Pillai is the son of P. S. Madhavan Pillai and P. K. Padmavathi Pillai of Kerala. He holds many degrees and is the winner of the Best Teacher in Management Award from the Rotary Club in 2004. He was given the status of an Eminent Personality of India in 2000 by the International Biographical Research Foundation. He has also received the Significant Contribution Award from the Rotary Club of Pune for his contribution in the field of education.
[edit] SCMHRD and SCMLD
When SCMHRD was founded in 1993, it had thirty-two students. When M S Pillai left in 2004, the institute had almost 21,000 applicants and was one of the top management schools in India.
After his abrupt departure from SCMHRD in 2004, many of his former students came together, and provided him financial and moral support to start Sadhana Centre for Management and Leadership Development (SCMLD) in Pune. He is currently Principal Director at Sadhana Center for Management and Leadership Development.
Sadhana Centre for Management & Leadership Development (SCMLD)
SCMLD came into being by the financial contribution and emotional alignment of, and persuasion by, the former students of Prof M.S. Pillai, who was the director of SCMHRD from its concept & inception in 1993, to April 2004. The persistent urging of hundreds of his former students inspired him to continue the journey of Human Resource Development by starting SCMLD. And thus SCMLD came into being in a matter of 40 days, with its first batch, in July 2004. SCMLD’s approach is that of a learning gurukulam. Knowing is of no use unless acted upon/ lived. Performance / execution excellence is the need today. It is a function of the mind, being competent. SCMLD strives to re-engineer that mind and develop such competencies that its students emerge extraordinary in seeing opportunities, feeling balanced, thinking positive, acting prompt and right to produce great outcomes utilizing their emotional & intellectual assets so that they grow faster, stronger and higher. Thus, they should become an inspiration for their own selves & others, by sheer contribution and success achieved without any shortcuts.
SCMLD believes that education must uncover talents, impart skills, nurture the genius, unleash the leader within, enhance capabilities, enlighten, embolden to do right things / set things right and thus empower to achieve.
SCMLD does not believe in shortcuts. Learn through the hard ways and accept the reality. SCMLD History [1]
