SANDEEP SIR: UNLOCKING THE GATEWAY FROM CLASSROOM TO BRILLIANCE

Studying Managerial Accounting under the guidance of Sandeep Sir has been a game changer for me. The way I used to look at finance before and after taking his classes stand completely on different grounds. I first met Sir in the first term of my MBA at MDI, Gurgaon in 2022. Coming from a legal background and being in the field of law for almost a decade, studying finance was something I was apprehensive about. However, in Sandeep Sir’s teaching till the end of the course I used to wonder where did the hard part lie? Sir’s teaching methodology which involves blending of real-world examples with theoretical concepts, makes the learning process seamless.

With the practical insights and interactive teaching style through questions and answers, Sir effortlessly demystifies complex topics. In fact, I was prompted and motivated to delve deeper as I found interest in the subject subsequent to attending his classes. Lastly, and most importantly Sir is extremely receptive of opinions and is extremely approachable which enables learning beyond books and classrooms. I am truly grateful for getting the opportunity to be able to attend his classes and learning to look at a subject much dreaded with confidence and an inquisitive mind.

I feel fortunate and privileged to be the student of Dr. Sandeep Goel while pursuing PG Diploma Programme in Public Policy Management at MDI, Gurgaon. He taught us "Corporate Finance and Financial Markets." Finance, generally, is a difficult area to understand for people like me, who are technocrats. But, Dr. Goel made it so simple to understand.

He is very knowledgeable, experienced and has got a great teaching style. He puts into great efforts in explaining each and everything. He is always cool and calm, never in a hurry. His sessions are always interactive and he uses real-life examples to make the things clear to students.

Besides a great teacher, he is a wonderful human being. He is very friendly and always available for any help. Our country really needs teachers like him. I wish him success in all his endeavours.

Sandeep Sir took our introductory course on Finance called ‘Management Accounting -1’ during our first year of PGDM. I remember that I was way too anxious about this course because finance as a domain was a completely unchartered territory for an engineering fresher like me.

Sir, not only made us understand all the topics right from the basics but also ensured that the entire class felt comfortable during his lectures. There was also a peculiar challenge of online mode of lectures during that time but Sir has his own knack of teaching stuff in such an interactive way that there was never a dull moment in the class. I’ll always remember Sir as one of the sweetest and most proficient Professors at MDI who always aims for the collective learning of his entire class irrespective of their educational background or area of interest/domain.

Sandeep Sir always puts a lot of effort into making his sessions interactive and insightful. I truly appreciate his teaching methodology of combining the course content with short quizzes and GK questions to keep his students updated with the latest happenings in the field of Finance. His teaching style made it extremely easy for me to understand the concepts, thus building a strong foundation in Finance.

Apart from his extensive knowledge, the enthusiasm that he exhibits in his teaching is quite remarkable. I am extremely thankful to him for all the guidance and support that he has provided throughout the tenure of the course.

I have been a student of Prof. Sandeep Goel during my Term 3 at MDI, when he facilitated the course "Corporate Finance". What I found quite interesting about his content and approach was that he was not hell-bent on how long (short, rather) the classes were; instead, it was always about how finance as a course can be made more approachable for students with any and all levels of expertise.

Having had a rather abysmal understanding of Management Accounting initially, I used to get repulsed by the mere idea of having to go through financial statements or annual reports or companies. But, Prof. Sandeep Goel made all those fundamental fears go away.

I wouldn't call myself an expert of Finance by any stretch. But, a teacher's main function, in my opinion, is to first make the fear and imposter syndrome of students go away. Once that is done, the student automatically becomes a curious learner. Prof. Sandeep did that exactly!

I had the privilege of being a student of Prof. Sandeep Goel. Dr. Goel was the Co-Chair of my Thesis Advisory Committee. Prof. Goel has a knack of putting the most difficult concepts in the most easily comprehendible way. He also asks the right questions that would require one to reconsider his or her position, and he would do it in the most positive way. He holds a lot of respect among the industry professionals as well, and he is often the ‘go-to’ teacher for finance for non- finance professionals. My respect for him as a teacher, supervisor and guide has been immense and has only grown over time.

I first encountered Prof. Sandeep Goel during my 1st year of MBA at MDI. Being a Chemical Engineer, I had zero knowledge of finance & basic accounting. But within a few months, I not only learnt the basic nuances of accounting but also started to enjoy Finance & Accounting. Truly indebted to Prof. for all his Teachings!

I have been a student of MDI EMP course (2014-2017), during which I got the opportunity to be a student of Dr. Sandeep Goel. Prof Sandeep was our faculty for ‘Management Accounting – I’ and ‘Strategic Cost Management’ for the batch.

His vivid style of teaching coupled with practical case studies discussed in the class lead to the quick understanding of the concepts. The content was very meaningful and related to practical real-world applications. Many times, I still refer to the notes prepared during his classes. In addition, he is still easily accessible for any query or guidance.

I feel I have been fortunate enough to have been taught by Sir.

Prof. Goel,

A teacher, mentor and the guru! He has been a pillar for our success with his wisdom and teachings. There are few Professors who can come to the level of students with such diverse backgrounds and give the complex understanding of finance in a simple way. The people who have a little bit of understanding of finance, like me – are challenged by him in his own way making us learn things for a lifetime.

My dissertation on “Alternative Investments” under him has been a topic of discussion with people I meet on and off work. It's still so fresh as a learning.

He is a person who literally has an open-door policy and an altruistic attitude always.

Thank you, Prof. Goel!

Hello Prof. 😊🙏

As a person with a passion for creativity and advertising, the thought of finance used to fill me with dread - that is, until I met Prof Sandeep Goell.

He's the epitome of patience, incredibly calm, and an amazing educator, who guarantees your understanding of the concepts matches his own expertise.

Seriously, I can't exaggerate enough how much his wisdom has shaped my entrepreneurial journey.
