“When Chandra teaches, he excites the class and shows enthusiasm in what he is teaching. Something I have never experienced with other lectures. His overall knowledge of finance is vast, and he always offers himself for any kind of support to the students and makes himself available.

Lecture slides and examples are always detailed but concise.”
