Message from Professor Sridhar Seshadri, Chair, CBA Academic Board

 
First, I would like to share my experience working with Prof. Bhim. Prof. Bhim was the constant guiding force of this program right from inception. He used to tell us stories that suited the mood we were in and uplifted us after listening to him. He made us part of his family. We are extremely grateful for his generosity with his time and guidance. I would like us to celebrate Prof. Bhim’s life and I request all of us to carry forward his vision and principles. He was a person who could balance goodness and work and he was the best at it. In Prof. Bhim’s memory, we will be setting up a scholarship for this program. Also, I dedicate this newsletter to Prof. Bhim and his extended family.

The theme of the rest of this letter is: “Analytics is a young field and is going through its own wild west moment.”
