About the role
Overview
PromptEd 2026 is an international competition on generative AI in business and management education. The Centre for Software and Information Technology Management (CSITM), IIM Bangalore, is running it in collaboration with Memoric AI. Students, faculty members, postdoctoral researchers and industry professionals are invited to use generative AI creatively to build original teaching artefacts that make business and management education more engaging and interactive.
Shortlisted participants will show their work at IIM Bangalore. Winners will be announced and prizes given out during Teaching the Tech Generation: Rethinking Teaching and Learning in the Age of Technology, a two-day event organised by CSITM on 27–28 January 2027.
What if the next great business classroom experience were built by you, with AI?
