Gayatri Sampath
Assistant Professor, PhD
I am a management professional with over 20 years of industry and academic experience. After 15 years in the corporate world and a decade of academic association as visiting faculty with various business schools, I switched to full-time research and teaching in 2011. After completing my PhD (2011-2016), I joined academia as an Assistant Professor in the Business Environment & Strategy Department of SBM. My doctoral dissertation, defended successfully in 2016, was inspired by my consulting experiences and is in the domain of organisational agility.
I have presented my research work in conferences and published papers in domestic and international journals. My research interests include studying drivers of building agile and resilient organisations and the practice of capability building in start-ups and small businesses.
