What The InsideIIM Professor of The Year Series Is About
Through the surveys and polls we conduct with the MBA community, we discovered that the top reasons why anyone wants to pursue an MBA is either to earn a higher salary, get an opportunity to network with smart peers, or get a glamorous job and move up in their careers. However, only rarely could one find the mention of wanting access to world class faculty and learning from the very best in the domain. That, unfortunately, is the reality of MBA education today.
The contribution of a business school professor will become visible a little later into your career when, faced with a business challenge, you are reminded of that lecture that taught you a concept so well you could apply it perfectly and solve the problem. Sometimes it's even more complex than that. Some of the best professors are able to build a habit of excellence, an appetite for problem-solving and humility to learn from every person and situation. And often it's some years into your career, that you really come to appreciate your education, more than your degree. By then, the student has lost touch with the professor and that one thing for that a student can give a professor in return for all he/she has done for the student, is denied to him/her - recognition.
To bring to b-school professors the recognition they very well deserve, we launched the Professor of The Year series in 2019, asking MBA students to share with us the names of professors who had a profound impact on their lives, who changed the way they learned in the MBA classroom, and those who made those 2-years at a business school absolutely priceless. Enthralled by the overwhelming 2000+ responses we received from MBA students across Indian business schools, we decided to share the names of all the professors with the highest number of votes from different business-schools!
The following professors from India's top business schools were some of the winners in 2020:
