What NMIMS is actually looking for
Every institution reads an SOP through its own specific lens, and NMIMS is no exception -- nMIMS is a Mumbai-based institution with particular strength in management and business programs. A statement that could be submitted unchanged to a different institution signals, immediately, that it wasn't written with NMIMS specifically in mind.
Unlike a study-abroad application, admission to this institution is evaluated entirely on academic and professional merit within India's own competitive admissions process -- there's no visa dimension to address, which means your SOP or essay can and should focus entirely on demonstrating genuine fit, without the ties-to-home or funding-narrative sections a visa-linked SOP requires.
