Partha Mohanram (Class of 1984)
Professor & Researcher

I joined Campion in 1977 in Ms. Rego’s class (4-B).
I had seven wonderful years at Campion, graduating in 1984.
At Campion, Quizzing was the extra-curricular event of choice.
In 1984, our team (Arvind Puri, Partha Sanyal (85 batch) and I)
won the Bournvita National Championship. I was a member of Britto house.

After Campion, I spent 2 years at Jaihind, and then did my B.Tech in Computer Science from IIT-Madras (1990).
After IIT, I did my MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad (1992). Rather than entering the corporate world, I decided to pursue a Ph.D.
I got my Ph.D. in Business Economics, ajoint program of Harvard University’s Economics department and Harvard Business School.
I have been an academic ever since, spending five years at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and since 2003, Columbia Business School.
I teach Financial Statement Analysis to MBA students and conduct research on areas such as valuation, executive compensation and corporate governance.

The time spent at Campion will always be amongst the best years of my life. A few years ago, I set up an e-group for our batch.
This has been wonderful, as I have reconnected with many of my classmates. We now have almost seventy people on-board.
I try to meet up with classmates each time I am back in Bombay, so we can relive the great times we all had at Campion.
