Management education has long been imparted in English, considered the lingua franca of

global business. However, imparting management knowledge solely in English neglects the
vast linguistic diversity and potential accessibility barriers for learners across the globe. This
also means depriving many aspiring managers of opportunities for enhancing learning.

Needless to say, offering management courses in regional languages would democratise

access to knowledge, empowering a wider spectrum of learners who may excel in their
native languages but struggle in a foreign linguistic setting.This would enable them to apply
managerial concepts more effectively in their respective cultural and professional contexts.

The integration of regional languages in management education also holds immense

economic and societal benefits. It would enable a broader talent pool to participate actively
in business collaborations as they would be better positioned to understand local nuances.

However, challenges exist in implementing management education in regional languages.

Standardising course materials, ensuring quality instruction, and maintaining consistency
across various are hurdles not easy to overcome. Additionally, in a globalized business
environment where English remains a dominant business language, proficiency in English
remains crucial.

In conclusion, while integrating regional languages into management education would

facilitate broader access to education, and equip future managers with a nuanced
understanding of business practices rooted in local contexts, there are challenges that can
make incorporation of regional languages in management education not only difficult to
implement but incapable of yielding dividends on its own.
