JD Institute of Fashion Technology has expanded its presence in Mumbai with the launch of a new campus in Andheri, adding to its existing network in the city.
The Andheri centre will function in coordination with the Vile Parle campus, which serves as the institute’s head office. The move is aimed at improving accessibility for students while strengthening its presence in Mumbai’s education landscape.

The campus is led by Mr Pankaj Pandey and Dr Sangieta Pandey, both of whom bring over two decades of academic experience. Their work includes initiatives focused on widening access to education through community based programmes.
As part of this expansion, the institute has introduced programmes such as Visual Communication, Luxury Brand Management, Design Management, Communication Design and Product Design. These courses are designed to address the growing demand for skills that combine creativity with business and technology.

Mr Yogesh Dalal, Trustee at JD Institute of Fashion Technology, said, “Andheri has always been close to my heart and setting up a campus here brings back many memories. It is going to be a meaningful journey.”
Dr Payal Dalal, Director at JD Institute of Fashion Technology, said, “Students now have access to wider opportunities with the introduction of new academic courses responding to the growing demand for design education.”

Rinesh Dalal, Director at JD Institute of Fashion Technology, said, “The launch of our Andheri centre marks an important step in our growth. We continue to focus on programmes that reflect changing industry needs and prepare students for emerging creative and digital roles.”
Mr Pankaj Pandey, Centre Director at the Andheri campus, said, “Design education today extends beyond creativity to include understanding technology and business. Our aim is to integrate these aspects into learning.”

Dr Sangieta Pandey, Centre Director at the Andheri campus, said, “Our focus has always been on creating meaningful learning experiences. This expansion strengthens that vision with a structured and industry relevant approach.”
Located close to the Vile Parle campus, the Andheri centre is expected to improve access for students across Mumbai while strengthening the institute’s presence in the city.
