Professor and Programme Director, K.R. Mangalam University
Building student-focused institutions
I am rebuilding an Indian MBA in public, and publishing the working — the curriculum decisions, the industry conversations, and the parts that have not worked yet.
For Students
For students aged 20 to 23 who are deciding whether to do an MBA, and what to do with it if they choose to. Plain answers about placements, coursework and the years after the degree, without the brochure language.
For Institutions
For deans, vice chancellors and programme heads rebuilding their own programmes. What we changed here, what it cost, and what a different institution can copy without waiting for permission.
Notes
Shorter pieces on reading, teaching and institutional memory. Written outside work, for anyone.

For Students
What an MBA can and cannot do for you
An MBA buys you a structured two years and a hiring window. It does not buy judgement, and it will not fix a weak sense of what you want.
