I shall start with the electroweak symmetry breaking scenario, triggered by the Higgs mechanism, as envisaged in the standard model, and then I shall highlight some of its deficiencies making a case for the need to go beyond the standard model (BSM). The BSM tour will be guided by symmetry arguments. I shall discuss four specific BSM scenarios, namely, supersymmetry, Little Higgs, Gauge-Higgs unification, and the Higgsless models.
