SPJIMR cases ranked among the most widely used teaching materials worldwide, reinforcing the institute’s growing influence in case-based management education

MUMBAI, India, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eleven (11) faculty members from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) are featured in Ivey Publishing’s Bestsellers 2025–2026 list and Ivey Classics 2016–2026 list, which recognise the most widely used teaching cases globally across disciplines.

These cases earned their place in classrooms because they provoke questions. The ones that endure are those that capture real dilemmas, invite multiple perspectives, and encourage learners to wrestle with uncertainty. This recognition of SPJIMR’s 11 faculty members reflect the value of creating learning experiences that challenge assumptions, spark debate, and help students think more deeply about complex managerial decisions.

Ivey Publishing, the case-publishing arm of Ivey Business School at Western University, Canada, compiles its annual Bestsellers and Classics lists based on classroom adoption data drawn from business schools globally. Cases are ranked by frequency of use within each discipline, making the lists a direct measure of pedagogical impact and educator trust.

With eight ranked positions across six disciplines in the Bestsellers list—Communications, Economics & Public Policy, Entrepreneurship, Management Science, Marketing, and Strategy—the recognition reflects SPJIMR’s sustained contribution to case-based management education in classrooms around the world and the growing relevance of India-rooted business insights.

This year, Prof. Aggarwal and Prof. Kamath’s case on Evoe Spring Spa is among the four cases that have joined the Ivey Classics list for the first time.

Commenting on the recognition, Prof. Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR, said, “Great teaching cases immerse learners in the complexity of decision-making. The global adoption of our cases reflects SPJIMR’s commitment to creating scholarship that is rigorous, relevant, and rooted in real-world challenges. We are particularly proud that many of these cases emerge from Indian contexts yet resonate with educators and students globally. This recognition reinforces our belief that management education is most powerful when it equips learners to navigate ambiguity with judgement, purpose, and responsibility.”

The 2026 recognition is the latest in an unbroken run of Ivey distinctions for SPJIMR faculty. It reflects a commitment to developing cases that are grounded in real business contexts and structured to generate insight that transfers across markets and industries. SPJIMR cases have covered topics as varied as macroeconomic policy, supply chain logistics, brand strategy, and maternal health technology, reflecting the breadth of the faculty’s research interests and their conviction that the classroom is itself a site of serious intellectual inquiry.

MUMBAI, India, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reliance Digital has launched ‘Baaptaa’, a Father’s Day campaign to celebrate the many expressions of fatherhood. Built around a simple cultural observation, while “Maa ki Mamta” has long been a part of India’s collective vocabulary, there has never been a word that captures the distinct ways fathers express love, the campaign introduces ‘Baaptaa’ as a tribute to the many shades of fatherhood.

Conceptualised as an original music-led campaign, Baaptaa celebrates fathers not as idealised figures, but as they are experienced in everyday life, protective, dependable, emotional, quirky, practical, occasionally embarrassing, and always present. Through a relatable narrative, the campaign acknowledges the countless ways fathers care for their families, often through actions rather than words.

At the heart of the campaign is an original music video told from a father’s perspective, capturing the different roles he plays across life’s moments and milestones. The film brings to life the humour, warmth and unspoken affection that characterise father-child relationships, while giving a name to a form of love that many recognise but few have articulated.

The campaign stems from a simple insight: while motherhood has often found expression through familiar phrases and popular references, the unique language of fatherhood has remained largely undefined. Baaptaa seeks to fill that gap by creating a term that reflects the everyday gestures, practical wisdom and quiet sacrifices that fathers make.

Father’s Day communication often leans into familiar emotional territory, but Reliance Digital’s campaign celebrates fathers in a way that feels more culturally authentic and relatable. The idea for ‘Baaptaa’ came from a simple observation — mother’s love has been immortalised in a number of heartfelt, emotional songs, there needed to be an anthem dedicated to dad’s love. And thus was born Baaptaa – a love language that is often awkward, practical, protective, humorous and deeply felt, even if rarely verbalised. It’s a celebration of fatherhood in all its wonderfully imperfect forms immortalized by a song that you won’t be able to stop humming.

NEW DELHI, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HarperCollins Publishers India is delighted to share the recent publication of People We Love by bestselling author Preeti Shenoy. At once tender and sharp, this collection of stories offers intimate, truthful and relatable portraits of the people we cherish, the ones we lose, and the people we become.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The people we love never truly leave our story…

In these tender yet piercing stories, Preeti Shenoy returns to some of her most beloved characters to reveal who they were before they appeared in her bestselling novels It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have.

Aniket, a coder, carries the weight of a longing for Trisha that he cannot bring himself to act on. Nidhi abandons her corporate life to teach pottery, only to discover that clay is far more forgiving than the people she loves. A quiz competition sparks an unlikely romance between Aman and Shruti, one that must withstand parental disapproval and class divides. And Anjali, a journalist, is so busy chasing stories that she almost misses the one unfolding in her own life.

Set against the pulse of contemporary India, People We Love explores the tug-of-war between duty and desire, family and freedom, who we are and who we dare to be. Intimate and deeply felt, these are stories about love that stays, leaves and almost slips away … love that quietly and irrevocably shapes the people we become.

Preeti Shenoy, author, says, “People We Love is a collection of three long stories, prequels to my bestsellers It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have. If you have read those books, you already know how these characters’ stories unfold. But what you don’t know yet is where it all began, the loves they carried, the choices they made, and the people they were before life shaped them into who you met on those pages. Writing these prequels felt like returning to a home I hadn’t realised I missed, and discovering rooms I had never been in before.”

Rashmi Menon, Associate Publisher – HarperCollins India, adds, “Preeti Shenoy has an extraordinary gift for finding the heartbeat of ordinary lives. People We Love is a warm, wise and deeply humane collection of short stories that reunites readers with favourite characters from her bestselling novels It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have, weaving them into fresh, deeply satisfying narratives. These characters feel like people you know, and their journeys will move, comfort and surprise you. This uplifting, thought–provoking collection reminds us why we turn to stories in the first place. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with our readers.”
