Vision Papers
Proposals for how academia and industry can build the next era of management education.

Aletheia Future Builders — Vision Paper
A proposal for collaboration between academia and industry to strengthen management education for the AI era.
Can management education better prepare students for the decisions they will actually face tomorrow? Our universities teach management exceptionally well, yet industry increasingly seeks judgement rather than more theory — the capacity to decide whether to enter a market, build or partner, invest or wait, scale or consolidate, or adopt new technologies, all under uncertainty and imperfect information. The Aletheia Future Builders Vision Paper responds to that gap. It is not intended to replace existing programmes or to claim all the answers; it is an invitation to explore how academia and industry can work together, combining academic rigour with industrial experience, management frameworks with business simulations, AI-enabled decision-making with ethical leadership, research with practical application, entrepreneurship with institution building, and Indian perspectives alongside global best practices. Universities, business schools, engineering institutions, public policy schools, research organisations, faculty members, industry leaders, and government institutions — from India and around the world, across public and private sectors — are warmly invited to read, critique, strengthen, and help shape this vision. The future of higher education will not be built by one institution; it will be built by institutions working together.

Foundations of Strategic Alliances
Understanding when firms should build, buy, ally, or orchestrate capabilities to create sustainable strategic advantage.
This opening lecture introduces a practical framework for understanding how organisations decide whether to build capabilities internally, acquire them, form strategic alliances, or orchestrate ecosystems. Drawing on Transaction Cost Economics, strategic management, and real-world examples—including Reliance, Airbus, Tata–PSMC, Microsoft–OpenAI, UPI, Android, ONDC, and Jio–NVIDIA—it explores how governance choices shape competitive, collaborative, and comparative advantage in an increasingly interconnected and AI-driven world. Designed for executives, educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and management students, this lecture offers an authentic glimpse into the executive learning approach of Aletheia Works.

The Life of a Company: Incorporation
The opening module of a new book-length teaching series following one company's journey from incorporation to IPO and beyond.
The first module from a forthcoming book, The Life of a Company: How Companies are Born, Built, Financed, Governed and Endure. Rather than treating entrepreneurship, corporate finance, governance, and capital markets as separate subjects, the book follows a single fictional company through incorporation, its first ₹10,000 of capital, successive venture financing rounds, strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, international expansion, an IPO, and the decisions that shape a company long after it goes public. This opening module examines the legal and strategic foundations laid at incorporation, designed for MBA and executive education audiences.
Books
Three books on how companies decide, build markets, and choose their path.

The Strategy of Choice: Why Firms Build, Buy, Partner, and Create Ecosystems
A framework for the strategic choice beneath every build, buy, or partner decision — and why getting that choice right compounds advantage while getting it wrong compounds fragility.
Some of the biggest strategic mistakes in business come not from choosing the wrong partner or the wrong acquisition target, but from asking the wrong question entirely. Executives instinctively reach for the familiar tools — build, acquire, partner — as separate tactical choices to be evaluated case by case; The Strategy of Choice argues they are downstream of a more fundamental decision that most executives never explicitly make. The book introduces a framework built around four strategic postures — Build, Buy, Partner, or Orchestrate an ecosystem — as structural choices about how a firm relates to the capabilities, markets, and value networks around it, not one-off deals to be judged in isolation. Drawing on real-world examples across decades of good and bad choices, it gives language and structure to something many executives sense but rarely articulate: that a company's most consequential decisions are less about specific deals than about the posture it chooses to take toward its own future.

The Life of a Company: The Story Behind Every Corporate Decision
A book following the life cycle of a company, from incorporation to growth, partnerships, fundraising, and leadership, told through the decisions that shape it.
Every company has a story — not just of its founders or its products, but of the decisions behind why it enters a market, raises capital, partners with another organisation, launches a product, acquires a competitor, or sometimes chooses to do nothing at all. Rather than presenting management as a collection of disconnected theories, The Life of a Company follows one company through its life cycle, exploring the strategic decisions at each stage and introducing the Founder's Notes that help leaders make them. Drawing on experience across industry and lessons from companies around the world, it aims to bridge management theory and managerial judgement for students, entrepreneurs, executives, educators, and policymakers alike. The manuscript has now progressed through Chapter 4; the Preface and Chapter 1 are available as a first glimpse into the book.

Creating Markets: How Companies Build Products, Categories, Platforms, Ecosystems, and Change Human Behaviour
A framework-driven study of how products become categories, categories become platforms, platforms become ecosystems, and ecosystems become the habits we forget were ever commercial.
The last book to take on market creation directly was Category Creation, published in 2019 — before an entire wave of AI platforms, from OpenAI and Anthropic to Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem and DeepSeek, arrived without a single book updating the theory to match. Creating Markets treats market creation as a discipline in its own right, distinct from marketing, strategy, and innovation, built around one distinction: human needs are natural and exchange is natural, but markets are not — they are built. The book traces five levels of the same process — product, category, platform, ecosystem, and the habit that eventually forgets its own commercial origin — and distills every case study into a single working tool, the Market Creation Canvas. Closing sections examine why market creation stalls, including a close look at China's manufacturing strength against its scarcity of genuinely new markets, before looking ahead to AI, robotics, longevity, climate tech, quantum computing, and space. The Preface, the Index, and Chapter 1 — The Myth of Existing Markets — are all available here, not as a glimpse but as a window into the book.
