Bio
Bhanu Siva K.
Prof.Akhil made me believe that Competitive Business Strategy is more interesting and has more scope than what I though before starting to learn the course. The way Akhil sir explains case studies makes me feel like he is telling a business fairy tale and not really a complex HBR or INSEAD case. Still remember the P&G (Industry Espionage), Uber vs Didi case, Rajat Gupta Case, Carlos Ghosn case and a lot more. My most favourite professor at UPES. Thank you for motivating me to love the process and purpose of management consulting more than the goals.
Akhil Nair
Akhil Sir, was my Strategic Management Professor and mentor during my research works in B-School. Under his co-guidance, I was able to publish few research papers which are now live projects at various airports across India. He has an exceptional expertise in motivation and coaching and very positive attitude towards work. He makes sure everything is compliant to regulation and there is no risk of failure. He is an excellent mentor and helps you navigate through any situation. He is my go to person for any market or risk related queries and the approach to resolve them.
