About Who We Are
Baba Prasad
President and CEO, Vivekin Group
Sloan Fellow, Wharton Financial Institutions Center, Wharton School
Baba Prasad (Prasad) is an exciting and leading thinker in the area of innovation and leadership development.
Prasad finished his B.Sc. from Bangalore University (St. Joseph’s College, Bangalore) with a 100% score in Mathematics. He received his Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and his Master of Technology degree (with distinction) in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics from the University of Hyderabad. Prasad earned a second Master’s in Computer Science from Kansas State University (spending a year at Dartmouth College). After two years as a technology management consultant for Shearson Lehman and JP Morgan on Wall Street, Prasad came back to academia and received his Ph.D. in Operations and Information Management from the Wharton School in 1997, where he continues to be a Sloan Fellow.
After his Ph.D., Prasad taught in the business schools at Purdue University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Students in his MBA course at Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management noted him as insightful and inspiring, and he was rated MBA faculty of distinction. At the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, he consistently received exceptionally high ratings for MBA teaching. Prasad has also taught in the executive programs at Wharton and the University of Minnesota.
Leadership Development & Innovation Management
Prasad founded Vivékin Group following his principal interest in understanding and helping organizations achieve enduring excellence through leadership and innovation. It has long been his conviction that organizations become excellent and sustain that excellence only when leadership and innovation are organic to the firm. Through his many years of research at Wharton and elsewhere, Prasad has drawn on a combination of theories from psychology, operations management, information systems, and cultural anthropology to develop a groundbreaking framework for leadership based on theories of human intelligence. He has been using this framework to help companies create a culture of leadership and innovation throughout their organizations. The organizations where Prasad has conducted workshops include companies that range from Fortune 20 firms like IBM and Fortune 200 firms like Estée Lauder and L’Oreal to smaller organizations like Dr.Reddy’s Labs. Prasad has also delivered talks about his new approach to innovation and leadership development to CXO-level audiences at the following organizations: Infosys (Bangalore), Wipro (Bangalore), Satyam (Hyderabad), ICICI (Mumbai), Wharton Alumni Club (Bangalore).
Prasad travels extensively and some of his most creative thoughts have emerged while observing people in crowded airport halls, or while looking at the backs of airplane seats. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC with his wife (a professor at Duke University) and their two young daughters. During the summers, Prasad and his wife co-direct the DukeEngage program in Hyderabad, India. With a team of undergraduate students from Duke University, they work on a literacy project in economically-underprivileged schools.
