I teach Strategic Thinking to MBA students in Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore, the top two India B-schools. In the latter I also teach Game Theory to improve strategic decision making. I have taught strategy at Mudra Institute of Communication Ahmedabad (MICA) and Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Bangalore, both premier business schools in India. I write regularly on management and am often invited to speak at various forums. I have addressed large audiences, participated in panel discussions and conducted workshops for Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and management associations of Bangalore (BMA), Madras (MMA), Kerala (KMA), and Hyderabad (HMA). I have also been a speaker at various forums of NASSCOM Bangalore and Mumbai.
