“I believe that Management Education in India is a good introduction to business/management studies in India … this book is important for further studies, not only to analyse the influences of localisation, but also to research the ways dominant discourses remain reproduced in institutions of higher learning in India.” (Maziar Jafary, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, January, 2018)
