My teaching philosophy is to enable this consistently with quality, in the context of the institute’s mission. I also believe in integrating assurance of learning into the course curriculum and evaluation processes. I strive to create thought leadership assets from my course that makes a positive impact on theory, teaching, or practice. The teaching pedagogy I follow includes Knowing (subject course materials, HBS and other cases, published research paper in related areas, area specific seminars); Doing(use of tools and simulation in the class; live projects with industry; research papers); Being (guest lecture by industry subject matter expert).
