Indian-origin scholars transformed American business education through both scholarship and institutional leadership. C.K. Prahalad co-authored The Core Competence of the Corporation, one of the most influential articles in Harvard Business Review. Aswath Damodaran’s valuation methods became standard in MBA and CFA programs worldwide. Dipak Jain became the first dean of Indian origin to lead a premier U.S. business school when he took the helm at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management in 2001, later followed by Nitin Nohria who was the first Indian-born dean of Harvard Business School. Together, they reshaped business education for generations of American students.
