I had the privilege of being guided by Dr. Mamata Bhandar during my MBA and DBA journeys at Manipal GlobalNxt University, where she served as my supervisor, the DBA Program Director, and Dean. Her leadership, academic rigor, and unwavering support created an environment that was both intellectually stimulating and personally enriching.
Dr. Bhandar has a rare ability to balance high standards with empathy. As a supervisor, she challenged me to think critically, refine my ideas, and push the boundaries of my research, all while providing the encouragement and clarity I needed to stay focused. As a leader, she inspired confidence and fostered a culture of academic excellence and innovation across the program.
Working under her mentorship has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my academic career. I am deeply grateful for her guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a visionary leader, dedicated educator, and outstanding mentor.
