Faculty at IIM Bangalore since 2002, Prof. Venkatagiri brings two decades of teaching alongside real industry experience - from MIT start-ups and Reuters Consulting to energy and healthcare clients in the US. His MOOCs on business statistics on edX have reached learners across the globe. In this programme, he makes statistics accessible and applied - no unnecessary theory, just the analytical thinking every business decision-maker needs. A doctorate in mathematics from Georgia Tech, with roots at IIT Kharagpur. The kind of faculty profile that only IIM Bangalore can field.

Deep expertise in leadership development and HR management, with a career spent helping organisations build the people who run them. She has consulted for leading Indian and multinational companies on leadership pipelines, technical talent, and senior women leaders - including a landmark programme with Catalyst India and IBM. Visiting scholar at Nottingham University Business School and former ICCR Chair Professor at HHL Leipzig. In this programme, she brings the frameworks that make early-career professionals better at the most underrated skill in management - understanding and leading people.

Industry before academia - Prof. Mukherji spent years at IBM, Oracle, and the Boston Consulting Group before bringing that real-world lens to the classroom. His expertise sits at the intersection of organisation design, sustainability, and inclusive business models. At IIMB, he has chaired the MBA programme and led the EQUIS accreditation task force - the kind of institutional credibility that only comes from years at the centre of things. In this programme, he teaches the logic behind how organisations are structured - and why getting that structure right is one of the highest-leverage decisions any business leader makes.

Microsoft. Amazon. eBay. PhD from IIM Calcutta. Dr. Banerjee has lived on both sides of the technology-management divide - and that's exactly what makes him the right person to teach digital product thinking. His research, published in globally ranked journals, focuses on how people actually behave with technology - not how they're supposed to. His teaching brings that same applied rigour: state-of-the-art, practical, and built for professionals who want to work at the intersection of tech and business.

Wipro. Intel. Qualcomm. Then he walked away from all of it to teach communication - and built something far bigger.

His online course on IIMBx has reached learners across the world. In this programme, he teaches the skill that determines how far everything else takes you - how to communicate with clarity, confidence, and conviction, at every level of an organisation.

Stanford. IIM Bangalore. A National Teachers' Award 2025 winner. Prof. Jha is one of India's foremost academic voices on innovation and entrepreneurship - published in MIT Sloan Management Review, MIS Quarterly, and other top-tier journals, and actively involved in shaping startup policy at national and international levels. She works closely with startups as a mentor and advisor - which means her teaching is grounded in what actually happens when you try to build something, not just what the frameworks say. In this programme, she teaches the mindset shift that separates professionals who execute from those who create - relevant whether you're building your own venture or driving change inside someone else's.

PhD from IIM Ahmedabad. Thesis award winner. Researcher in corporate governance, nonmarket strategy, and international business - Dr. Sai Chittaranjan brings the academic rigour of two of India's premier management institutions to the final course in this programme. Strategic Management is the course that ties everything together - and that's exactly how he teaches it. Not as a standalone subject, but as the lens through which every prior module finds its purpose.

At IIMB, he has served as Dean-Administration, Chair of Executive Education, and currently leads the cross-functional research initiative on consumer insights.

Fellow of IIM Calcutta. Engineer from BIT Mesra. Prof. Verma's research sits at the sharp end of operations - supply chain flexibility, vendor-managed inventory, and what it takes for manufacturing firms to stay agile under pressure. In this programme, he brings that analytical rigour to the decisions every manager eventually faces - how do you build operations that don't break when things go wrong?
