    Dr. S. Pratap Reddy Managing Editor

    Email: drspratapreddy@gmail.com

    Dr Pratap Reddy born 1944, rose from a humble, rural middle-class farming community of Telangana to become a respectable teacher in management at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad. Starting his career there as a lecturer, he progressed on his career as a professor eventually adorning "Board of Management Studies of the University" as its chairman

    Born in a rural village of about 1000 population with just one middle school to boast of, studying in Telugu medium and coming from an agriculture background, Pratap faced many challenges as a school going boy both in the village school and high school at Hanumkonda and then coming to Hyderabad with the help of his teacher from the village, he made his mark in a very competitive environment.

    Throughout his school education as a meritorious student and as a top ranker he enjoyed fee-waiver. He was eligible for scholarship too, but his father - a socially conscious person did not seek the same saying a poorer students should be helped, though he himself being a man of average means. Pratap imbibed good values shaped by his parents and many of his primary school teachers. Discipline, hard work, honesty and being frank and truthful were the qualities that stood by him throughout his life.

    He was brought to Hyderabad by his revered teacher Mr.Sattar for anti-rabies treatment in 1957 and enjoyed the bathing facilities at a mosque, and this was a turning point in life to a Hindu boy feeling quite safe in a Muslim locality in the old city of Hyderabad. He not only did his engineering from Osmania University but was very agitated in the discrimination Telangana was suffering which propelled him into the famous agitations - such as Mulki agitation of 1968 and Separate Telangana agitation of 1969 followed by his incarceration. However, he never promoted hate or discrimination.

    After joining the NS Engineering College as a faculty he totally focused on teaching and won many appreciations and proved his leadership qualities too, winning hearts and positions as Secretary of NSEC Teachers' Association, President of JNTU Teachers' Association, and VP of A.P University Teachers' Federation. while at the same time winning hearts of his students for guiding them.

    After teaching for 25 years at JNTU, he took voluntary retirement and established in 1995 Dhruva College of Management-"India's first not-for-profit Business School" single handedly, by selling his assets with total faith that a sincere and honest purpose backed by dedication and hard work can never fail. Over the last 23 years, Dhruva has made a formidable presence in the comity of management academia across the country. Acclaimed as the best emerging B-school in Asia by CMO ASIA with Wall Street Journal as media partner, it co-produces management graduates grounded in intellectual humility & ethical profundity.This institution has many awards and recognitions to its credit and housed many leading lights for conferences and lectures. Thus he chose to become 'edupreneur' . There are many management schools but few that match the risk taken and dedication shown by a teacher such as Pratap.

    Dhruva has built an invaluable base of intellectual capital in the form of faculty, research, publications and consulting. Its refereed journal- 'Vidwat-Indian Journal of Management', now into its 16th edition made a mark among management academia and industry. Dhruva has established "AHIMSA-Axis Hyderabad Indian Management Systems Academy", a forum to proactively pursue leadership development anchored to ethics and ancient Indian ethos. Realising that today's MBAs need to develop people skills apart from technical and functional skills to make them "industry ready", Dr. Reddy spearheaded massive effort at Dhruva to sensitise the students' "right hemisphere of the brain" thru "life skills" training. This is showing a ray of hope swaying Dhruvans away from materialistic pursuits-like corruption, high handedness, unethicality, flamboyant and snobbish behaviour. On the contrary, they're getting imbibed with Indian ethos, culture & wisdom.

    Dr. Reddy's avowed philosophy and life goal is to offer quality business education gratis to all the deserving aspirants.
