XIMR started as the St. Xavier’s Social Institute of Industry in 1963.

It was renamed as Xavier Institute of Management (XIM) in 1971, focused on working executives.

Xavier Institute of Management was replaced by a new Institution, Xavier Institute of Management & Research (XIMR), Mumbai in July 2006 to meet the rising demand for executives with a global perspective as Indian companies increasingly sought growth beyond our borders.

XIMR began with the two-year full time Master of Management Studies (MMS) program of the University of Mumbai in August 2006.
