IIM Faculty (Management)
Your morning begins with a case-method teaching session for a batch of 60 PGP students on a Harvard Business School case about an Indian FMCG company's rural distribution strategy — facilitating a rich debate by cold-calling students and drawing out structural frameworks. Afternoons are spent reviewing revisions to a paper on board governance and firm performance submitted to a ABDC A-ranked journal, and holding office hours for doctoral students.
