“Be curious and stay open to learning.”, FHNW School of Business

What do you teach, and what fascinates you about your field?

I teach Digital Business and Enterprise Systems. Both subjects focus on building a bridge between business and technology.

What fascinates me most is using technology to solve real business problems and drive transformation. I’m especially interested in the big-picture perspective ‒ how strategy and systems come together to reshape organizations.

Having worked in industry for many years, I’ve seen firsthand how digital transformation can close gaps, change business models, and create real impact. That ability to turn ideas into tangible, real-world change is what makes this field so exciting to me.

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

I really enjoy working with students and being able to give back by supporting the next generation of leaders. At the same time, I value the fresh perspectives that students bring ‒ their ideas often challenge and inspire me.

Overall, the entire experience is very rewarding and genuinely gratifying.

What skills do students gain in your classes?

In my classes, students learn how to connect business strategy with technology and understand how organizations are structured from both a business and an IT perspective.

In Enterprise Systems, they gain a mix of theoretical understanding and hands-on experience ‒ working with systems like SAP and applying concepts directly in practice. The goal is to bring everything together in a final project, where students design or transform an organization by implementing or improving an enterprise system.

In Digital Business, students get a broad overview of the entire Business and Information Technology program. They explore key concepts such as strategy, business models, processes, and IT architecture, and begin to understand how digital transformation shapes modern organizations.

Overall, students develop analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate business needs into practical, system-based solutions ‒ skills that are highly relevant in today’s digital world.

How would you describe your teaching style?

My teaching style is very interactive and practice oriented. I like to combine conceptual understanding with hands-on application, so students don’t just learn theories but see how they work in real-world contexts.

I often structure my classes around discussion, examples, and practical exercises ‒ whether that’s working with systems or developing solutions step by step. I also try to connect everything back to real business scenarios, drawing from my own industry experience.

Overall, my goal is to create an environment where students actively engage with the material and understand how to apply what they learn in practice.

What advice would you give to future students?

Be curious and stay open to learning ‒ not just the theory, but how things work in practice. Try to really understand how business and technology connect, because that’s where a lot of value is created.

Also, take every opportunity to apply what you learn. Whether it’s through projects, case studies, or hands-on work with systems, these experiences will help you build real skills and confidence.

And finally, don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. The topics can feel complex at first, but if you stay engaged and keep working at it, you’ll be surprised how quickly everything starts to come together.

What should students know about you?

I’m very passionate about what I teach, I also bring a lot of real-world experience into the classroom, and I enjoy sharing practical insights alongside theory.

At the same time, I’m approachable and always open to questions or discussions ‒ whether it’s about the course or broader topics. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable engaging and learning.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I don’t have a lot of free time, but when I do, I enjoy spending it with my family and watching movies. I’m a big Bollywood fan, and Netflix and other streaming platforms are my go-to way to relax. I also like playing video games ‒ it’s a great way for me to switch off and recharge.
