Where theory meets reality

For those wondering whether a business degree will actually prepare them for the real world, Dr Hazarika's teaching philosophy should put those questions to rest. "Theory is the compass, but practice is the journey," he says, perfectly capturing his experiential, inquiry-driven approach.

This practical approach is matched by Dr Hazarika ability to create those "lightbulb moments" that every student remembers. Whether it's through hackathon style brainstorming sessions, structured debates on AI ethics, or group simulations on global product launches, he's mastered the art of making complex concepts click.

He also regularly brings in guest speakers from logistics firms, cross-border platforms, and regional fintech start-ups – not just to add credibility, but to show students the "messy, real-life challenges behind the strategies we discuss."

Preparing leaders for tomorrow

For Dr Hazarika, "Ready for What's Next" isn't just RMIT's tagline – it's a personal mission. "To me, it means preparing students not just for their first job, but for a career of lifelong learning and change," he explains. In his Managing Cross-border e-Commerce in the Digital Era course, students develop the digital fluency, analytical rigour, and cultural intelligence needed to lead in an increasingly connected world.

Dr Hazarika's classroom is a collaborative learning space where global trends meet local insights, where academic theory meets business reality, and where students grow as confident thinkers and communicators.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, having an educator who bridges innovation and impact isn't just valuable – it's essential. Dr Hazarika represents what modern business education should be: globally experienced, practically grounded, and genuinely committed to student success.
