One of my cousins graduated from SRM University and here are some of the things I got to know from him, regarding your question. 

• To be honest, I do not know how authentic this statement is, as SRM University is as local as a rural university in Uttar Pradesh or Bihar. 
• Out of 3000 staff members, only 6 are from IITs. Most of them are from affiliated self-financing colleges like Anna University.
• Some of them are from deemed universities like Satyabhama, Vels and Bharath University.
• Most of the teachers of their management department are from Vinayaka Mission University and Alagappa University.
• The physics and mathematics staff are from local colleges.
• The CSE department does not have good teachers, most of them graduated from SRM only.
• There are also no visiting faculty.

Do check the official website of the college to get an elaborate view of the faculty profiles. It is a local university thus their scope and reach is limited.
