Tarun Anand (MD, ExCoLearn Pvt. Ltd)

Experiential Learning Corporation (ELC) was formed with the vision of Mr. Tarun Anand, our Chief Evangelist and Managing Director (Fmr. Managing Director of Thomson Reuters, South Asia and Co-Founder of Universal Business School) to create a professional organization built and led by students where they could learn the art and science of management and practice it as well. It was clear to Mr. Anand after having run global multi-billion dollar businesses in over 136 countries and served on the Board of a $40 billion corporation that management education could only be learnt by doing real business and not sitting in a classroom. He was educated in the top B-schools in the world like Tuck Business School, Michigan Ross School of Business, IE Business School and SP Jain Institute of Management and Research where he learnt the best practices in management education. He was keen to empower UBS students and ignite their minds to germinate ideas enabling them to organize themselves in an organization with goals, purpose, structure, teams, leadership and a profit motive.
