Don’t ever miss Mr Moradian’s lecture. He is the one who will take a lecture for five to six hours continuously and that too in the early morning. Mr Boman Moradian so called GOD OF OPERATIONS, is the longest serving professor at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies. He is a Mechanical engineer graduate from VJTI and then MMS from JBIMS. You will never get bored listening to him.

The 67-year “young” Parsi man will always reach before time be it for lecture or for any event. He used to arrive half an hour early for the lecture. There's a floating rumour that he has been late only twice in his entire life. In a nice manner Mr Moradian will teach you real lessons of life with the help of his unorthodox theories. We Pappu-Shappu never realized how easily with fun, he taught us some serious, boring, confusing and complicated operational theories.

Moradian’s style of teaching will make you fall in love with his lectures. With ‘Sala Bastard’, ‘Bloody Engineers’, ‘Falana Dimka’ and ‘Bamboo theories’, he will inject serious practical operational concepts and “business fundas” in you. In about 7 lectures we did not even realize that the Parsi Babu taught us true management lessons. No matter what specialization you have in your mind, after his lecture ninety percent of people will plan to opt for Operations.

Key learning lesson from Mr Moradian’s one core value, he refuses to recognize a person by his caste, colour, gender, religion, because man had no choice for this; he was born that way. And he will unabashedly use the word Bastard.

Here are the few management lessons which he mentioned in his lectures, which one should never forget

Customer is my CEO

Customer Pays my salary, but I am not a slave to the customer

Become a ‘khandani chor’ and not a ‘chindhi chor’, see where the big money lies!

He has coined some amazing terms:

GOYA: Get Off Your Ass

MYBA: Move Your Bountiful Ass

It was my privilege to have learned operations legend, and truly the ‘baap’ of thinking. Love You forever Moradian Sir, waiting to hear from you more.
