 The Founder
The SSN Institutions are the outcome of the
vision and initiative of Dr. Shiv Nadar, a pioneer
in the field of Information Technology. Dr. Nadar
founded the HCL Group of Companies, which is
today an acknowledged leader in the IT world.
As the chairman of HCL Technologies Ltd.,
Dr. Shiv Nadar has played a pivotal role in the
rise of India as a formidable power in Information
Technology. His commitment to professional
excellence and global quality is today a benchmark
for corporates in the IT domain. The professional
link that the SSN Institutions enjoy with
the HCL Group of Companies has given the
Institution a significant edge in terms of its reach
in the software industry worldwide.
The SSN Institutions are an outcome of Dr. Shiv
Nadar’s ardent desire to give back to the society
that nurtured him. It only follows that the SSN
Institutions reflect the ideals of its founder.
Dr. Shiv Nadar’s
message to the students
b est express es the
Vision of the SSN
Institutions:
“ The founding vision
of the SSN Institutions, named after my late father, Sri
Sivasubramaniya Nadar, springs from a belief in India and
in her future generations. I firmly believe that there is a lot
of young talent here in India. With good stewardship and
encouragement, they can rise to the highest levels globally in
technocracy and leadership. Our elegant campus is conducive
to serious academics and vibrant extra-curricular activity. It
is our constant endeavour to bring to the SSN Institutions, the
best in technology and infrastructure, as we progress towards
accomplishing our vision of being a centre of excellence.
Dear students, you have many roles to play. You are the nation-
builders. You are the movers of technology. You are the agents
of change. It is our fervent hope that the years that you spend
in this institution would enable you to be sophisticated users of
technology and equip you with leadership skills. The knowledge
that you will gain, the fine qualities that you will imbibe, and
the technical skills that you will learn to apply will be your
major contribution to your parents, to society and to the nation.
I, as the weaver of a dream, urge you, the members of the
techno-generation of India, to explore the world of technology,
scale the heights of creativity and innovation, and above all,
to transform your learning experience to become exemplary
human beings. There are strong challenges to great effort but,
”
always remember, great effort bears the sweet fruit of success

The Trust
The SSN Trust was founded in 1994 by
Dr. Shiv Nadar and (Late) Justice Pratap Singh,
a judge of the Madras High Court. Justice
Pratap Singh, a legal luminary, dedicated his
life to a number of social causes that served the
greater good of society.
The Trust has established the SSN College of
Engineering (SSN CE) and the SSN School
of Management (SSN SoM). The institutions
are run on a not-for-profit basis, and aim to

 Innovation Centre and Incubation Centre

SSN Incubation Centre

SSN has set up an Incubation Centre in 2016 with funding from Ministry of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises.
The SSN Incubation Centre is part of the 100 centres and one of the first few centres in a private institution
being supported by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) to promote emerging
technological and knowledge-based innovative ventures. The SSN Incubation Centre will focus on innovations by
technology and engineering start-ups in the primary areas of ‘energy’ and ‘materials’. SSN Incubation Centre will
support and develop budding entrepreneurs in the state of Tamil Nadu and the research community from SSN
College of Engineering or other engineering institutes. The aim of the Incubation Centre is to reach out to and
embrace a wider ecosystem of innovators. It will seek to foster a vibrant spirit of entrepreneurship and risk taking
among students and the larger entrepreneurial community.

SSN Innovation Centre

SSN Innovation Centre was inaugurated by Dr. Shiv
Nadar in September, 2016 with the purpose of supporting
student innovations from concept to market. The
Innovation Centre is mentored by Dr. V G Idichandy,
former Deputy Director, IIT Madras. The SSN Innovation
Centre will support with concept validation and prototype
creation for ideas being worked upon by the SSN students.
The state of the art Innovation Centre consists of all
necessary tools such as an Electronic Lab, computer tools
and softwares and fabrication lab to help students ‘Walk-
in with an idea and walk-out with a product’. Innovation
Centre projects will be considered for funding by the SSN
Incubation centre.
