In my research, I focus on performance trade-offs associated with using technologies and novel organizational forms in the context of human resource allocation and knowledge production. My current work looks at how technologies (such as AI, algorithms, and surgical robots) shape various organizational outcomes such as innovation and worker participation.  I use a variety of methodologies involving econometric analysis of large datasets and computational modeling in my research.

​

Prior to my doctoral studies, I have worked in various industry sectors, ranging from software to retail to automotive manufacturing. I hold an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Pune, and an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta.

When not working, I enjoy attending classical music and Jazz concerts, and reading philosophy and history. I am also an avid trivia buff (a big Jeopardy! fan).
