Hi Monica,
Hope I am not late in replying. Well, your friend needs to do a self assessment of himself as to what exactly interests him. Is it because he was disinterested in Operations, he did his MBA in Finance? If so why did he choose Finance in the first place? Is it because he thought here were ample opportunities in Finance area, once he completes his MBA or that he would like to understand more about the Finance as a subject, research on it and teach Finance. I am not against people doing MBA after B Tech. I myself have done the same thing, and I do not regret. I also admire your friend who says he wants to teach. India today needs bright people to teach in B Schools, however sadly, no one is really interested.
To answer your questions
1. No it is not bad to do MBA after B Tech. It is an indivdual's choice
2. It is better to gain some exposure in the Industry before venturing into teaching in a B School (teaching MBAs to be specific).
3. Finance in any industry would be a value add and experience for a person, if his ultimate aim is to share his learnings and experiences as a Finance pro. Be it KPO or Manufacturing or IT, the basic finance functions in these corporates are the same.
4. Yes, it is better to do a PhD from a good institute before getting into teaching, to show that one is serious in building a career in academics
All the best
