Definitely, yes. Teaching remains a highly respected profession and in the corporate sector there has been a huge emphasis to invite academia for various research related talks, seminars and symposium. The rare breed of teaching in corporate world makes them even more attractive. There are several employees in corporate, especially in training and organization development department who have been professors. They bring with them rich experience of honing young talent and expert knowledge of a domain. Professors are subject matter experts and therefore in technology focused organisations like Google, Apple, Bosch, Siemens, Larsen and Toubro, some private banks, publishing houses and Ed tech organisations, they provide the necessary expertise on products and solutions. Many of these jobs are full time corporate jobs whereas some are contractual.
