Dr. Aman Srivastava of Jaipuria Noida: A Bit More than Management

Jaipuria Noida is a great learning environment, not only for the students but for the faculty as well. There is a lot of emphasis on ethics and logic,” Dr. Aman Srivastava’s opening line is focused and interesting, just like the man himself.
With decades of experience behind him Dr. Srivastava is the gem at Jaipuria Noida. He has been with the B-School since its inception. “Initially it was a typical technical type of institute. We then introduced courses like Diploma in Management, PGDM Services, PGDM Retail, etc. Student quality improved. Today, we frequently upgrade our curriculum; focus on getting better, think of what better can we offer our students,” says this teacher of Corporate Finance and Financial Management.
A favourite among his students, he is known to keep them on their toes. He constantly grills them with questions on current events and corporate happenings. “Uncertainty is rising and they have to be on their toes. They must survive in this challenging environment. Knowledge is the key. If you don’t work hard and are not on your toes, it is very difficult for you to survive. We prepare our students to face realities. They should not have any fear when they go into the business world,” his reasons for the class grilling are completely validated.
Another reason his classes have low absenteeism is because of the processes he adopts. “The learning at Jaipuria is experiential. It is not based on the traditional chalk and talk method. While there are lectures, it is more of a case based teaching. However, we emphasise more on learning by doing,” he says. What better way is there to learn as you do? The very experience of the doing teaches you where you could be going wrong, or for that matter, right.
Typically, a Jaipuria Noida student is given many career options. They can either turn entrepreneur or go corporate. “We have people from the industry come and talk to them; some of them are our own alumni. We have tie up with National Entrepreneurship Network, too. Entrepreneurship holds more responsibility than a job,” he says, clear about giving the Jaipuria Noida students what they seek – a bit more than just management studies.
He ends with a bit of advice to the students not just of Jaipuria but to the students of the entire business world. “Understand not only Indian business environment but global business environment is changing very fast. The experiences from US, Europe and other free economies like France and Italy are facing the heat of uncertainty and crisis. It is rising day by day. The managers of today should be prepared for today and for more uncertainties that wait in the future. Their level of preparation should be very high, without any shortcuts.”

Dr Vikas Nath of Jaipuria Noida Speaks on his Experience in Teaching

Dr. Vikas Nath began his career in Management thirteen years ago. He has faced challenges head-on and has grown as a person with each roadblock in his life. Moving through B Schools, Dr. Vikas Nath has gained priceless experiences. “The journey was very exciting,” he recalls. “I started with IMR, went on to become a Reader and Coordinator with the affiliated college of GGSIPU and have now joined Jaipuria, Noida.”
Before entering B-Schools, Dr. Nath tried the corporate experience, but it was not for him. He was a teacher through and through, he found, and promptly returned to academics. “Over the years I have learned a lot and have exercised that learning in my teaching. For me, teaching is twofold. One is to make my student’s great businessmen and secondly, of equal importance is to help them mature into good human beings,” he says. Because, he finds, deep down inside everybody is a ‘good human being. Some have many layers covering that innate goodness. It is his job to peel off those layers so the real person can shine through.
Knowledge shared is knowledge doubled. Dr. Nath’s mission to share as much as he knows, and he is doing it the practical way, which is the best way to teach and learn. Students retain lessons much better when they experience things firsthand. “I believe in giving practical knowledge that is not confined within the pages of a book alone,” he confesses. Books guide. For practice, you need real life. “At Jaipuria Noida, I take the students to different corporate houses or maybe to a local market to make them understand different market trends and often give them research projects that they work on independently. It helps the students to learn fast and know about the realities of business and market.”
In a recent trip to HEIG-VD, while mentoring a team of students from different countries viz Switzerland, America, and India, Professor Laurence Firoben of HEIG-VD commented- ” I really like the way, you coach students”. In that visit, he inculcated the Spirit of observing practical things done by managers and embed it in one’s life.
Being told he is on top of the teachers’ popularity charts at Jaipuria, Noida brings a smile to the otherwise serious Dr. Vikas Nath’s face. “Thank you,” he says, still smiling. “It feels great. I guess my practical way of teaching may have attracted the students. It actually helps students to understand the market scenario and the quantitative method in a more appropriate way,” he ends, happy in the knowledge that his students value his hard work.
