Teaching and Research Interest:
My teaching interests are centred on Organizational Behaviour, particularly leadership, team dynamics, and contemporary workplace challenges like technology and inclusivity. I teach Organizational Behaviour as a core MBA course and Leadership and Team Management as an elective, with a particular interest in how leadership behaviours, team relationships, and interpersonal processes influence employees and their experiences at work. I also teach AI in Human Resource Management, where I explore the emerging implications of AI for people management and managerial decision-making.
MBA Courses Offered:
- Behaviour in Organizations (Core)
- Leadership and Team Management
- AI in HRM

I am a researcher of happiness and gender. I am particularly interested in exploring factors that can create flourishing and inclusive workplaces. I am also interested in examining how leadership, organizational practices, and changing workplace contexts influence well-being and affect inclusive and supportive work environments. Through my research, I aim to connect Behavioural theories with real workplace experiences and generate insights that are both academically meaningful and practically relevant.
Research Focus Areas:
- Happiness at Work
- Gender & Leadership
- Human Side of Technology and Innovation
