State Owned Enterprises in the New World Order: Huge institutional transitions across the globe in national economic policies, as well as of SOEs- internal functioning and associated value systems, social and cultural beliefs, and operating logics has thrown in new problems and challenges for SOEs. My research interest is in diagnosing challenges and looking for possibilities for managing or transcending them.
Social Entrepreneurship: I believe that literature on social entrepreneurship needs to expand its domain to a higher level and have to relook into the entrepreneurial processes that have been proposed in extant entrepreneurship literature. I believe that there is a need to revisit questions like how a collective handles the problems of uncertainty and innovates and organizes; how entities like government or commercial businesses, which were earlier thought of as touching the entrepreneur at the boundary and remaining as resource/ resource provider at best, become an active partner of the entrepreneurial activities.
Judicial Reforms- Adoption of principles of Management into Judiciary: There has been a rise in a normative discourse in the government, the masses and the judiciary about the need to bring in learning from other systems like those from the field of management studies into the judicial systems. However, what seems to be missing is an overall understanding of the theoretical foundations of what to import and how and under what conditions would such an import impact the judiciary for better or worse. My research interst is in helping the field of judiciary to bring about tenable judicial reforms
I have been actively working as a Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) Coordinator for IIM Kozhikode (UBA is a flagship program of Ministry of Education). In my role, as I interact with villagers, government officials, gram panchayat members and so on, I have conceptualized a model that works with the meso-level agencies to create sustainable livelihoods in these communities. These initiatives are being captured in action research to disseminate the knowledge thus created to the world at large. I am currently working on creating a farmer producer organization. I am also working with schedule caste and schedule tribe colonies (they can be described as pockets of poverty in a relatively prosperous rural kerala) with helping them conduct additional livelihood generation through utilizing their little spaces around their houses for cash crop cultivation. I am working with local self government welfare department to create e-hub and library for students, farmers and women in these villages. A number of PhD students are working under me on various action resaerch programs and oe of them is nearly finsihing her dissertation on one of these initiatives.

Social Development Projects at IIMK: Coordinator at IIMK Kozhikode and Kochi Campuses for over 2 years. Professors and students of management schools predominantly work with commercial organizations, while organizations working for creation of social value operate from a social benefit perspective. The latter are often unable to manage strategic and managerial challenges to ensure sustainability and scalability of their efforts. A partnership that Social Development Projects, a mandatory project course at IIMK, provides is that it creates a win-win situation for both. While professors and students get an opportunity to advance their learning and research, these organizations benefit as their delivery mechanisms and end results improve with infusion of management thinking.
