Purpose: We respond to calls from business schools (B-schools), apex education bodies, regulators, activist groups and researchers for more rigorous research to understand the future strategies of B-schools in India We specifically examine the challenges posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic (and possible future similar eventualities) and the current and long-term strategies being planned to combat such crises Design/methodology/approach: To reveal the real-life scenario, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 academic leaders (Deans and Directors) of B-schools in India These respondents were from both public and private institutions across the country Open-ended questions were framed for exploration to help the authors understand the way forward in the Indian B-school context Findings: Findings reveal that B-schools in India are preparing themselves to overcome short-term challenges faced due to COVID-19 as well as transforming themselves through long-term strategies Originality/value: The study outlines strategic plans for some imaginative reassessments that B-schools may consider as a reaction to a pandemic-like emergency The focus is on distinguishing the imperatives, creating a key guide for meeting immediate requirements, allotting assets in a prudent way to update educational course curricula and teaching methods and building the required academic infrastructure The ability to focus on enduring changes (e g creating an e-learning framework and providing a safe and secure learning environment to students as per government mandates) will provide B-schools with a new lease of life in the future © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited
