3. Can you tell us about your areas of expertise and what led
you to this profession?
My area of expertise includes Organizational Behavior and Human
Resource Management. Honestly, what drove me to this profession is the
freedom to follow my nose where I can teach and create novel concepts,
knowledge, and competencies. Also, I can extend my expertise through community
outreach activities without wearing me out. Personally, I did want it for the
psychic reward that indeed I was able to extend some of my scientifically
acquired thoughts and insights for the growth of our students.
4. What was your proudest and most memorable moment as a
professor?
It has been more than 15 years of teaching and research, till
date, I have mentored more than 1000 students. Every year on teacher’s day I
receive wishes and compliments from my present and former students. On last
teacher’s day I saw the WhatsApp status of one of my students who is a faculty
of HRM in a reputed college, she acknowledged that she copies my teaching
style. Moreover, she admitted that she has developed teaching instincts because
of me. Nothing, else can make a teacher more proud than these words of
revelation of the fact that they have influenced their students’ life so
profoundly.
5. Can you tell us about your achievements?
My biggest achievement is that I am doing what I always wanted
to do. I had been striving for a
career which gave me opportunity to keep learning new
things and influence lives of people I come across.
6. Can you tell us about some of your major research
publications and a glimpse of your project?
I believe in interdisciplinary research for the societal
advancement that provides an opportunity for: a) exploring and collaborating
multiple disciplines with discovering multiple perspectives and b) developing
fundamental skills that are essential to facing real-world challenges in
multicultural settings. I used to celebrate the diversity and creativity
by showcasing and disseminating the interdisciplinary research outcomes. My
research publications and books can be accessed from following links-

7. How do you manage your work-life balance?
I believe that there is no finer calling in the world than that
of a professor as they are intensely self-motivated. I have been able to
maintain a healthy work-life equilibrium with the belief that “our work
is our life”. I make as many shortcuts around works at home as I can,
with the help of technology. I think efficiency, rather than show-home. To
boot, my family share chores equally. My maternal and in laws’
families are nearby that makes caring for my two growing daughters and dealing
with the chaos in need as another pair of hands.
