The Wharton School
Baba Prasad (Prasad) is a leading thinker in the area of management strategy and innovation. He is President & CEO of Vivékin Group, a management strategy consultancy that has developed frameworks such as the Vivékin Intelligences Framework and the Vivékin Agility Matrix. Prasad's book, Nimble: How Intelligences Can Create Agile Companies and Wise Leaders, will be published by Random House/Penguin in 2015. Prasad is also a Sloan Fellow at the Wharton School, and Visiting Professor of Management at the International Institute for Information Technology-Hyderabad (IIIT-H). Prasad has Bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics (Bangalore University) and Electrical Engineering (Indian Institute of Science), Master’s degrees in Artificial Intelligence & Robotics (University of Hyderabad) and Computer Science (Kansas State University), and a Ph.D. in Operations & Information Management (The Wharton School). He was on the business school faculty at Purdue University (where he was rated MBA faculty of distinction), the University of Minnesota, and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. His students have consistently called him “insightful,” “inspiring,” and “one of the nicest persons they’ve known.” Prasad and his wife, Professor Leela Prasad of Duke University, often work in economically-underprivileged elementary schools in Hyderabad. They helped to set up “Aksharavani,” a school for children of migrant construction workers—Vivékin Group recently adopted the school. Prasad and Leela are making a documentary movie titled "Moved by Gandhi."
