Abstract: The COVID-19 crisis has compelled the world to experience and weigh the costs and benefits associated with countrywide lockdowns and domestic as well as international travel restrictions. One major development in this coping situation is online teaching, even in the context of business studies. In India, students join B-schools from different parts of the country including rural and remote geographic locations. Very few families from these areas have access to a computer and internet facilities. Hence, it is obvious that there lie unforeseen challenges faced by the finance educators of Indian B-schools in teaching online. With the help of an anonymous case study followed by a simple survey, this study aims to highlight the issues related to learning finance using an online platform in Indian B-schools in the COVID era and tries to offer possible remedies to such problems.

Keywords: online; finance; case study; teaching; India.
