Bhaskar Chakravorti (born November 4, 1959) is an economics scholar and consultant. Since 2011 he has been the Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School, Tufts University, and the executive director of Fletcher's Institute for Business in the Global Context (IBGC). He teaches innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management.

Chakravorti has been involved with several academic institutions, having been an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a speaker at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship,, and a faculty member at Harvard Business School and Harvard University Center for the Environment, where he taught innovation and entrepreneurship

Later on he joined The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, at Tufts University, teaching innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management. He also serves as Dean of Global Business at the Fletcher School.

In 2011 he founded the Institute for Business in the Global Context (IBGC), to serve as the umbrella department to host the school's international business education and research.[23][24][25][26][17][27] Within it incorporated the school's Master in International Business,[2][28] and the Council on Emerging Market Enterprises, a research think-tank .[29][21][30]

Chakravorti defined the purpose of IBGC as "creating cross-linkages between business and the broader contextual factors that affect business and vice versa", adding that subjects could include "geography, history, cross-border issues, security questions, diplomacy and cultural issues."[28] He argued that Fletcher School's unique approach to business lies in that "there is a lot of overlap of business decisions with the public policy arena and issues like international trade, peace and conflict, humanitarian issues, inclusive growth issues. These are not the kind of topics that business schools normally talk about".[31]

He also serves on the Global Agenda Council on the Economics of Innovation for the World Economic Forum.[32][13]

He previously worked as a consultant and partner at McKinsey & Company, and was a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Harvard Business School, and Harvard University Center for the Environment. His early articles[9][10] in Harvard Business Reviews on the impact of demonetization in India received criticism[11] from the readers on his views. Some claimed his article proved prophetic as they believe because some warnings apparently came through and were served up as advice on what other countries should learn from what he claimed was failed demonetization in India.
