A Paul & Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor at the Ross School of Business, The University of Michigan, Dr. C. K. Prahalad is a professor, researcher, speaker, author and prominent consultant, who specializes in corporate strategy for

large diversified, multinational corporations. Dr. Prahalad is more than an academic, he is one of the foremost business thinkers of our times.

In addition, he serves on the Board of Directors of NCR Corporation, Hindustan Lever Limited and the World Resources Institute.

Says Mr. Alan D'Souza, Director, GIM, of the association, "As part of our value system at GIM, we emphasis on providing a good quality education to our students. We encourage students to view an MBA degree / diploma not merely as a passport to a well-paid job, but as a first step towards a good future career. Remuneration should come as a by-product of value delivered. I'm sure our association with committed individuals such as Dr. C. K. Prahalad will add value to the institute."
