Dear All, 

I know you made some efforts to understand the techniques taught. I also know some of you borrowed outputs of your friends and changed headings. I know some of you thinking to leave this wordly education and planning to bury yourself in himalayan ranges because you stil confused as to when to use PROXSCAL, PREFSCAL, MCA and CONJOINT. 

For all those who belong to third category, to address your question, i made a document and called it ready reckoner. I call it reckoner because, i made no efforts to explain you the technique, but i made an honest attempt to tell you application of each of these techniques in marketing scenario. Please go through, you may find it useful.

BTW, arjuna where is my chariot? lol

Best regards,

I second Ankit and I truly believe that all of us agree to ankit and share the same feeling for Sir. Sir it was indeed a great pleasure being in ur class. It was indeed the only class where we all must be having  the highest attendence inspite of the fact that in all the 33 sessions we were taught and was left right on time not a minute before. But the learning was made so much fun that everybody enjoyed alot and we didnt realised the burden of attending the class.We all are really proud to have you as our Prof.it was a really enjoyable experience after a long time @IBS as there is hardly any good faculty left @IBS. So it was really a wnderful experience and thanks Sir for all ur efforts that You have put to teach us the great Techniques. 

Short Crisp bt NeVER TO BE FORGOTTEN...

Thanks Sir
Looking forward to be in Ur Brand Management class.

With lots of nostalgia already in place and almost every word exhausted in praise, i find my self short of words and expressions to express my gratitude towards you. Every class was filled with knowledge and brilliant punches of humor that will remain as cherished memories in our heart and mind for years to come. It was one class where i actually experienced so called 'Value addition' in my life as a prospective manager, right from your ferrari speed to out of the world jokes with pinch of statistical techniques is something which makes you stand out of the league as a very 'Hot Shot' prof in our eyes. I will miss this class nevertheless i have my fingers crossed for 'Brand Management' to have a IInd innings. 


If I have to describe you in one word it would be ‘dynamite’ for your outstandingly dynamic personality..!!

Dear Sir,

          It just seemed like yesterday that I was sitting in your class waiting for you to enter. God said to me 'Dear child, You have not opened your book for the past one year, but I grant this opportunity to you. I have sent you one of my masterpiece creations.He is a guy with brains, with teaching skills absolutely the way you like it - he imparts wisdom in a unique blend of wits and humor.So I hope you make the most of it. And indeed the lord almighty was true!!!

          I would say we had a bloody addictive ride. PDM was a class that had the typical elements of a bollywood movie - humor, action, love (by this word I mean - our respect towards you), emotions and most importantly the message it had to deliver - every class was associated with a new thought, a new insight, a new learning. And it wouldn't have been possible without you!

          During my job, if I'm confronted with any scenario that facilitates my decision, I would surely think 'What would sir suggest right now? and after a brief recap I'd hit the bulls eye - this is what he would suggest me to do!

         On a serious note, we thank you sir for everything - the knowledge that has been bestowed upon us, the simplest of suggestions that you advised, the inspiration that you have given would surely drive us to great heights in future. Please do keep in touch with all of us through mails (that we surely don't them as scam) so that the teaching goes on virtually. 

        Class we need to give our sir a standing ovation tomorrow!!!

Thanks for Everything,
Ashwin

Sure Ashwin. We all have come to know dat its not one or two of us who feels dis way but all of us share the same feelings for Sir., We all are really overwhelmed with the way the classes went on and would surely love to have a constant touch with Sir through emails. The virtual teaching should go on. 
Thnks for everythng Sir and the most wnderful sessions ever in IBS
