Biography

I've grown up in Mumbai, and have always been exposed to a very dynamic financial and economic ecosystem, accompanied by a smattering of identity politics and regionalism; a natural result of being in a thoroughly cosmopolitan city within a highly diverse and heterogeneous nation. This sparked my interest in political economy while the ethical challenges of development and political decision-making drew me towards philosophy. So, I chose to study PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) at King's College London which seemed an ideal blend of my realms of interest. Being in such an entrepreneurial city and participating in research fellowships that naturally introduced me to organisational theory led me towards an MPhil in Innovation, Strategy and Organisation. I'm applying these three theoretical lenses to the publishing industry. The questions of how to align imprint strategies and innovate by acquiring groundbreaking manuscripts and experimenting with formats are all illuminated by management research and rigorous academic thought. Having centered my academic research on this, I look forward to heuristically applying the insights gleaned through it to the book business.
