Excel Entertainment thus becomes the first ever Indian film company to have its own case study created by HBS.

Ritesh Sidhwani had delivered a key-note panel discussion at HBS in March 2012 which gave them a good insight on the basis of which they decided to create a case study on Excel Entertainment. HBS case studies are extremely popular and used for class discussion in a variety of educational institutions running management programs.

Mrs Mukti Khaire, the Associate Professor at the HBS, flew down from Boston for a week and was the faculty lead on the case. Mrs Khaire worked closely with Namrata Arora- the Associate Director of the Harvard University South Asia Initiative- during the case-writing process on Excel Entertainment. As part of their research they did extensive interviews with Ritesh, Farhan and a lot of key members of the Excel team.

The Case study on Excel Entertainment will be taught to the second year MBA students at HBS in Jan-Feb 2013. HBS case studies are also put on the Harvard Business Publishing website for professors across the world to purchase and teach in their respective universities.
