Profile Summary

  • Research & Teaching Interests

    I am a Professor of Marketing at the Institute of Rural Management Anand. Earlier, I was associated with the Portsmouth Business School, University of Portsmouth, UK, as a Research Fellow and Visiting Fellow. I carry about fifteen years of combined work experience in industry, academics, research, and consulting.

    My primary research interest is to study the notion of strategic orientations and explore their implications. My other research interest areas are sustainable consumption, rural-social and nonprofit aspects of marketing.

    I teach Rural Marketing, Strategic Marketing & Planning (through marketing simulations), Marketing Management, Social and Nonprofit Marketing, and Services Marketing courses to Masters students; and Structural Equation Modeling and Quantitative Research Methodology courses to doctoral students. 

    Publications & Honors

    Some of my research works have been published in international peer-reviewed journals such as Technological Forecasting & Social Change, Journal of Marketing Management, Journal of Consumer Behaviour, The Service Industries Journal, Journal of Strategic Marketing, Futures, Journal of Consumer Policy, Health Marketing Quarterly, International Journal of Rural Management, Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies, Asian Case Research Journal among others.
