The first dean of the Indian School of Business and co-founder of Ashoka University on a new classroom for women, and trysts with chief ministers

By the time we get to lunch at Mumbai’s Sea Lounge at the Taj Mahal Palace, the restaurant has begun serving tea. The place exudes an old-world charm, with live piano music, the clink of china and the buzz of conversation. We are ushered in to a much coveted sea-facing table. Outside, the afternoon sun makes everything sparkle as barges and boats criss-cross the Arabian Sea against the backdrop of the imposing Gateway of India.

It’s 3pm. Pramath Raj Sinha hasn’t had lunch. The 52-year-old entrepreneur had flown into Mumbai that morning and had just finished speaking at a business school event on education. Sinha was the founding dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, and is co-founder of Ashoka University, Sonipat, Haryana.

His most recent venture is the Vedica Scholars Programme for Women in Delhi, an alternative master’s in business administration (MBA) programme. This all-women residential programme tries to address the problem that far more women graduate from high school than men, but get left behind in careers. Sinha says he was inspired by institutions like Wellesley College of Massachusetts, US, where women get the confidence to express themselves. The Vedica curriculum includes subjects that many conventional MBAs neglect, like politics, sociology and history. The first batch of 36 Vedica scholars has just graduated and Sinha informs me that one student has received an offer from Google at a starting salary of Rs22 lakh.

By now we have settled into our seaside seats and turned our attention to the menu. We debate the relative merits of keema ghotala (a spicy Parsi keema with bread), a smoked salmon sandwich or a BLT burger, and end up settling for the latter two.

India consistently has one of the world’s lowest labor participation rates for women. Ready to change the narrative, one woman decided to take matters into her own hands.

Cofounded by Anuradha Das Mathur, The Vedica Scholars Programme for Women is an 18-month residential alternative to a traditional MBA program based in New Delhi solely for women. It is backed by a governing council that includes former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and McKinsey & Company director emeritus Joanna Barsh.

Interestingly, Mathur’s cofounder is Pramath Raj Sinha, a former McKinsey partner and founding dean of ISB, a top business school as ranked by the FT.

ISB’s illustrious governing board reads like the who’s-who of global business and wealth: the Reliance Group’s Anil Ambani, Dell’s Michael Dell, Arcelor-Mittal’s Lakshmi Mittal, Khosla Ventures’ Vinod Khosla, among others. But of the 72 member governing board at ISB, only five are women.

The traditional route isn’t working

“It was clear that traditional management schools are not making the path for women any easier,” says Mathur. She likens the scenario to a game of golf in which all players are handed right-handed clubs, leaving the left handed players with a disadvantageous start.

“The education system doesn’t prepare women by not acknowledging that the working world is different, they’re not equipping them,” Mathur says.
