Washington: Seven Indian-origin academics figure among Thinkers50, described as the Oscars of management thinking published every two years with Indian-born thinker Vijay Govindarajan, known as VG, ranked fifth.

Pankaj Ghemawat (11), Nirmalya Kumar (20), Nitin Nohria (21), Subir Chowdhury (40), Anil K. Gupta (44) and Rakesh Khurana (46) are the six other Indian-origin management gurus figuring in the rankings announced Monday in London.

“Management thinking is no longer the preserve of the West,” said Thinkers50 co-founder Stuart Crainer.

“The last few rankings have seen an Asian invasion with the arrival of the Indian thinkers.”

Govindarajan, Earl C. Daum 1924 professor of international business at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, is described as “one of the world’s leading experts on strategy and innovation”.

With co-author Chris Trimble, he coined the phrase “Reverse Innovation” to describe products and services designed for emerging markets and then imported into western economies.
