- Exposure to Indian business contexts – SMEs, mid-sized firms, large enterprises – across one or more sectors such as BFSI, manufacturing, consumer, retail, healthcare, logistics, GCCs.
- Comfort with interactive, case-based teaching – discussion, Q&A, whiteboarding – rather than only slide monologues.
- Prior teaching/training/executive education experience is a plus, but not mandatory if you have strong facilitation skills and are keen to teach.
Engagement model:
- Part-time, practitioner faculty role
- Virtual delivery on weekends (Zoom), 3–6 masterclasses of 2–4 hours each
