InsideIIM Professor of The Year 2020 - What MDI Gurgaon Students Have To Say About Professor Sanjay Bakshi
"He is calm, composed and gives real life examples and teaches in a way that you can actually feel. You come out of his class after actually learning something which you would remember throughout."“Professor Bakshi was an amazing professor not because of the knowledge he possessed about the subject matter, but because of the way he was able to communicate that knowledge across in a manner which made even students like me who did not have an iota of inclination towards the field of finance, very interested in it. And beyond that, and I think this is more important, is the fact that his teachings are not restricted to the world of finance, but also often involve other fields which I think made it the most enjoyable & educational course of these years as an MBA student”. “He is one of the coolest professors I have ever met, filled with knowledge no one can provide. He never takes attendance and still, there are over 90% of students present all the time, ain't that enough?”"A course so relevant for any management student is taught by a professor unlike any other. Everything about his class right from the content, the delivery, the application of concepts, illustrations and final evaluation is fantastic. The content is truly the most awesome bits from some of the most amazing books/articles he has read, people he follows and the things he has learnt in the profession of investing. Feel fortunate to have attended his course."Here's what the Professor of The Year series is all about, and why it matters.The following are professors at MDI Gurgaon who just missed out on winning the title of InsideIIM's Professor of The Year in 2020, but are loved by MDI Gurgaon students:Professor Sandeep Goel:"He makes every concept so easy to understand that I have actually started loving finance. I am going to specialize in marketing but his teaching has piqued my interest to study finance and watch YouTube videos to learn more about this subject!""He makes one of the most confusing subjects look so easy, and has got an exceptional way of explaining the concepts.
