Introducing an institution like Sydenham College of Commerce & Economics insinuates recapitulating a history of 103 years of excellence, a history that is as chequered as the history of modern India. Sydenham, being the pioneer institution of commerce education not only in India, but also in the Asian continent has definitely contributed in making India a truly modern and progressive nation by producing a myriad of exceptionally bright alumni who by their outstanding contributions in the respective fields, not only helped the nation turn into a great state but also afforded their alma mater a reason to seek pride. It is not an exaggeration; it is a statement of facts.Sydenham is a unique educational institution for the reason that it has been the first college offering commerce education in the Asian continenet and also because it remained the sole institute to do so for a long time. The reputation of the College as the finest institution for commerce education soon crossed the confines of the country and students from Africa, South-East Asia and the Middle East started queuing up for admission. The institution was fortunate to avail the knowledge and expertise of British and Indian scholars, industrialists, bankers and accountants of repute, who have been on its faculty right from the beginning. Sydenham takes pride in noting that Bharat Ratna awardee Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of the most illustrious of our faculty worked as the Professor of Political Economy during 1918 to 1920.It is a matter of great pride for Sydenham College, as it has been awarded "India's No.1 Brand in commerce and Economics category" as per the Consumer Survey Report, conducted by Media Research group on 2nd May 2016.In the academic year 2013-14, this illustrious institution of commerce education had celebrated its centenary. It was certainly a defining moment in the journey of a hundred years of this august institution.
