I mean as a teacher/faculty. And what IIMs can do better..
Classes are overcrowded (MBA) - 70 plus in a section, not conducive to learning. Why can't they have smaller classes, larger faculty size? The norm in the US university I was at, was around 40 in a PG class. UG was larger.
More faculty would also help get more original research and accreditations if that is a goal. More cases too, perhaps with contributions from Professors of Practice.
Not enough Ph.D. candidates. Each faculty could potentially have 3-4, or one new candidate each year. We would help create manpower. Make efforts to get more quality candidates by spreading the word.
I had an academic associate (in Indore) who helped with grading. A must for every faculty, to give her/him time for value-added work.
Not enough guest faculty from industry. At IMT and some other institutions, we had a better number of industry folks within the courses, coming to guest lecture.
Projects (live in the course directed by faculty) are going down. Seminar courses are rare, except in Ph.D. classes.
Flipped classrooms are almost nil, in most IIMs I was in.. shouldn't top institutes be doing more of innovation?
