At the heart of my research is a belief in dignified work spaces and an exploration of its influence on humans who associate with them. With over 12 years of experience in Corporate and a Higher Education institution, I bring with me some experience in Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) praxis. The last employer at Corporate was L&T and the education institution I engaged with was IIT Palakkad, previously.
