Faculty

The SDSB faculty strives to empower future business leaders using the case method of teaching and other participative tools to hone their understanding of management issues and decision-making situations. It is actively engaged in research on challenges and opportunities offered across business contexts. Faculty members serve as trusted advisors and consultants to decision-makers, tackling real-world issues through the practical application of business theory and knowledge. In addition to full-time faculty members, students also learn from a team of professional adjuncts, and executives in residence teaching across a range of areas.

  • The launch of the LUMS MS BPP programme with a duration of 1.5 years provides experienced professionals with an opportunity to take a short break from their careers to polish their skill set and develop and expand their knowledge on policy making and analysis through multiple frameworks and participant-centred learning. With an excellent faculty and a wide range of academic and extra-curricular resources at your disposal during your stay, the LUMS experience is transformational.

  • When I joined SDSB LUMS, I didn’t just enter a classroom—I stepped into a world that challenged everything I thought I knew. I met people from finance, engineering, arts, and tech—with perspectives so different from my own creative background. Through case-based discussions, presentations, and intense group work, my communication and public speaking improved faster than I ever imagined.

    Campus life was vibrant—late-night jam sessions at Jammin’ Java, deep conversations over chai at khoka, and friendships that became family. I found mentors in alumni and faculty; my LinkedIn network expanded organically. I had imposter syndrome at first—sitting in a room full of high-achievers, I often wondered, “Do I belong here?” But each time I spoke up, pushed a case, presented a project, I felt more confident. These two years remade me.

    Today, I’m not just a content creator turned MBA graduate—I’m a business professional equipped with strategic thinking, real-world problem-solving, and a global mindset. If you’re feeling stuck, craving growth, or ready for a bold career pivot—this is the rite of passage. SDSB LUMS didn’t just give me a degree—it transformed me.

  • It is heartening to see LUMS taking the initiative to offer the MS Accounting & Analytics programme, which is equally suited for both accounting and finance professionals and non-accountants who intend to learn to exploit the power of data using analytics. It will help fill the critical gap in a large number of  organisations where loads of data are collected deploying various technology tools but not optimally utilised to generate insights about the past, current, and future. This programme will also bring academia closer to the industry.

  • I chose the SDSB-LUMS MS Supply Chain and Retail Management programme for its strong reputation, industry connections, and hands-on learning approach. The focus on innovation, leadership, and real-world case studies aligns with  my career goals, providing the skills needed to excel in the dynamic field of supply chain management.

  • Pursuing my undergraduate degree in Management Science was the best decision I made! The programme equips you with the necessary tools to develop strong business acumen. You can then build upon these foundations with a variety of courses like Econometrics, Data Science and Supply Chain Management to help you specialise in the area of your passion. This holistic approach allowed me to truly explore what I loved and become exceptional at it  - with the help of the amazing faculty at SDSB!

  • The MS TME programme has not only helped me develop a new perspective towards technology management and entrepreneurship, but it has also provided an understanding of the efficient manner in which technology has enabled us. Revolving around the process of learning and relearning, this programme focuses on a student-centred experience with a good balance of theory and practical work while also catering to participants coming in from diverse backgrounds.
