Abhijeet Chatterjee

I am born on 07th March 1970 in a city called Indore in Madhya Pradesh in India, I was a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, Navalakha Indore. After my Schooling, I did my college with Biology as my subject. Though the subject attracted me very much, I could not see nuch scope in that field in those days and jumped into Chartered Accountancy(CA). It was not that easy for me to do CA with a non commerce background. Nevertheless, I cleared CA(Intermediate) exams in 1994. But at the same time I started pursuing MBA simultaneously. I cleared my MBA in 1996 from Shri Vaishnav Institute if Management, That was a turning point in my life. I joined the same College as lecturer and grew to the level of Sr. Lecturer. During the course of my academic career, I completed my Ph.d in Management and got promoted to Associate Professors' level. Thereafter I took a shift from my academic career to Professional Career and joined corporate world as a Director of a Finance Company in Ahmedabad. Though, my work profile still included training and research, i saw the most turbulent phase of the stock market during these 2 years of my corporate directorship. That a different experience altogether. In 2009, I relocated my self from Ahmedabad to Vadodara and joined back academics in a B-School as a Director. I worked in the University system for about 2 and half yrs and felt suffocating in the bounds of University system. Recently I have made a switchover from a University system to a AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM, where I believe lot of freedom is there to perform and uplift the quality of education.
