It has been two decades since Namita Thapar got her MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. But the skills she learned and the knowledge she acquired are as relevant as ever to her career — and to the high-profile side gig she just embarked upon. Namita, a member of Fuqua’s Class of 2001, is executive director of a $700 million global pharmaceutical company, Emcure Pharmaceuticals, which has more than 10,000 employees worldwide. She’s also a “shark” in the Shark Tank India, a television reality show modeled off the long-running and highly popular U.S. Shark Tank.
