The Educator Behind the Book

These experiences help students understand how concepts discussed in classrooms operate in real organizational environments.
From Theory to Experience
A business concept becomes more meaningful when students can see it in action.
By connecting academic frameworks with practical exposure, Dr. Purankar encourages students to develop a stronger understanding of business operations, strategy, management, and decision-making.
Economics & Business Hub
