Research interests

My research interests intersect between international management and comparative human resource management, focusing on India, the UK, and France.

  • Organisation of multinational enterprise (MNEs): Examining how multinationals organize across geographies in response to differences in institutional environments, with an interest in exploring postcolonial dynamics in MNEs.
  • Workplace inequalities in MNEs, and the construction of an inclusive "transnational" workplace, with a focus on gender, parenthood, caste, work-life management
  • Indian Business History: Studying the internationalisation of Indian firms, business networks, and the construction of international managers.
  • Blue Economy as non-traditional international business environment, internationalisation in the seaweed industry
