[02:28] Why do we need to bring in more practitioners to business schools?
- I went to do my MBA in 1979, and I chose Jamnalal Bajaj rather than going to an IIM.
- Bajaj was the only institute then which had an amazing mix of professors who taught us all the basic requirements of the theory.
- There was an incredible range of top corporate leaders who would come and help students to interpret everything.
[07:44] What value do you think theoreticians can add to the free knowledge available online?
- An On-Campus or inside an institute classroom gives us the ability to sit with peers.
- It gives you the network and the desire to belong to an institute.
- The network is a very powerful tool for any business school.
