The landscape of business education in Hyderabad is shifting. The traditional model of rote
memorization is insufficient for a world driven by disruption. Leading this educational
evolution is the School of Innovation and Management (SoIM).
Moving beyond textbooks, SoIM faculty are taking their insights to global stages. By
translating thought leadership from the lecture hall to the TEDx platform, SoIM is signaling a
new era for management students in the region.
Bridging the Theory-Practice Gap in Telangana MBA Programs
A historical disconnect has existed between academic instruction in Telangana’s business
schools and actual industry requirements. Corporate hubs in HITEC City and Gachibowli
demand problem-solvers, yet many colleges continue to produce theoreticians.
The modern MBA must act as a bridge, not a silo. To succeed in the competitive Telangana
market, students require exposure to real-world complexities before graduation. SoIM
addresses this by integrating live industry projects directly into the curriculum. Faculty
members demonstrate not just how concepts are defined, but how they survive—or fail—in
the volatile 21st-century market.
Why SoIM Leads Innovative Management Teaching in Hyderabad
While Hyderabad is home to numerous prestigious institutions, SoIM has carved a unique niche by viewing management through the lens of innovation.
Leading in Hyderabad’s education sector requires agility. SoIM has dismantled the “factory model” of education to foster an environment where questioning the status quo is mandatory. This shift is driven by a faculty that curates experiences challenging students to think critically and act decisively.
Redefining Traditional MBA Theory
Traditional MBA theory often relies on static case studies. At SoIM, the curriculum evolves alongside the market trends of Telangana and the global economy. Faculty members champion “Design Thinking”—a human-centered approach to problem solving. This shifts the focus from spreadsheets to stakeholders, ensuring students understand the human impact of business decisions. By redefining theory, SoIM prepares students for that prioritize adaptability.
A Unique Faculty Profile in the Telangana Ecosystem.
The strength of any institution lies in its mentors. SoIM faculty members stand out in the Telangana ecosystem as hybrids: part academic scholars, part industry veterans.
Many professors here have managed portfolios, led startups, or consulted for major corporations. They bring practical experience into the classroom, ensuring students learn from people who have successfully navigated the industry. This mentorship is a cornerstone of the SoIM Faculty Profile.
TEDxSoIM: Amplifying Thought Leadership
Hosting a TEDx event is a statement of intent. TEDxSoIM is a manifestation of the institution’s intellectual capital, placing the college on a global map of thinkers and doers.
Showcasing Faculty Expertise on a Global Stage
For SoIM faculty, the TEDx platform acts as a powerful amplifier. It allows them to condense complex management theories into compelling narratives that resonate globally. This visibility demonstrates to prospective students and corporate partners that the knowledge shared at SoIM is cutting-edge. When faculty members step onto the red dot, they embody the institution’s commitment to excellence.
Highlights: Faculty Talks on Innovation
Talks delivered at TEDxSoIM explore the intersection of humanity and business. Faculty members have addressed critical topics including the psychology of leadership, the ethics of AI in management, and the future of work in a gig economy. These talks highlight a departure from rigid corporate structures toward fluid, innovative ecosystems, showcasing Hyderabad as a crucible for new management philosophies.
Bringing the “TED Style” to the Classroom
The concise, story-driven communication style of TEDx is infiltrating SoIM classrooms. Moving away from long-form monologues, faculty use narrative techniques to make complex financial or operational concepts accessible. This creates an engaging environment that respects the student’s attention span and focuses on impact.
Future-Proofing Careers: Insights on Future-Ready Education
The ultimate goal of redefining education is employability. SoIM faculty emphasize “metaskills”—the ability to learn how to learn. Technical skills have a shorter half-life than ever before; therefore, soft skills, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are the new currency. By instilling these values, SoIM ensures graduates are resilient against market shifts. For more on how this translates to employment, explore our Placement and Career Services.

By bridging the gap between theory and practice, SoIM has firmly positioned itself among the best management colleges in Telangana. For students seeking an education as forward thinking as the industry they wish to enter, the School of Innovation and Management offers a distinct advantage—a journey that prepares you to lead, innovate, and inspire.
