IIM Kozhikode2019 - 2025
The setting

With such a wonderful setting and equally friendly colleagues, I love to stay in my office room alone as much as possible. The tranquility of the place seeps into you and ensures a learning environment, and evolves you spiritually.

Apart from my regular academic activities, learn, teach, train, consult and such, I spend most of my time researching, reflecting, and on long walks. I have also vetted various business ideas and the financial viability of a number of NGOs and start-ups.

The academic hub

Teaching, mentoring, research, and publishing.

As a dedicated scholar and educator, I am passionate about advancing knowledge and sharing my research with the academic community and beyond. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to engage in a wide range of academic pursuits, from teaching and mentoring to research and publishing.

The Academic Hub offers an overview of the courses I taught, and my research interests and publications during this timeframe, a comprehensive collection including case studies, refereed research, conference papers, and other scholarly contributions.

In closing

The hilltop at Kozhikode, the friendly colleagues, the quiet that seeps into you, these shaped the scholar as much as any course. I remain grateful for the years, the students, and the space to research, reflect, and grow.

Learn, teach, train, consult, and keep walking.
