Who is Dr. Amol Gawande?

Dr. Amol Gawande is an academic leader, researcher and management educator. He is an Executive Board Member of the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS), is Vice President of CEGR Maharashtra, and is Founder of Brookstone Institute of Global Studies, Dubai.

His work sits where education, management and technology meet: how institutions measure and improve the quality of what they teach, how students are prepared for work that keeps changing, and how technologies such as machine learning and augmented reality are reshaping business and learning.

What does Dr. Amol Gawande research?

His research falls into two broad groups. The first is higher education itself: papers in Quality Assurance in Education examine why accreditation performance stalls between review cycles, how academic audits affect accreditation outcomes, and how business schools can improve the quality of student dissertations. Related work looks at research metrics and data sharing in thesis publishing.

The second is business and technology: digital payments and GST compliance in finance, retail digitalisation and augmented reality in marketing, and machine-learning models applied to student behaviour, student mental health and employee wellbeing. He has also edited several volumes of management case studies and international conference proceedings. See research and publications for the full list.

What is Dr. Amol Gawande’s approach to education?

He argues that education should be judged by what students can do when they leave: think clearly about unfamiliar problems, apply what they know in real settings, and keep learning as their field changes. That points towards outcome-based education, experiential learning, room for personalisation, and an open, critical use of technology, including AI.

He writes about these ideas on this site, starting with why Gen Z needs a different approach to education.
