Personal profile

Overview

My main reserach interest is in understanding the role of firms in societies. In my dissertation, I have examined the strategies that firms have developed to engage with the population belonging to the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). In my current research project, I am studing the influence of public policy on firm strategies to create and develop intangibles for innovative growth of the economy.

I am also working on projects related to the study of business strategies of family business firms in India and the influence of firm-level diversification on the performance of business group affiliated firms.
