About me<\/h3>\n

I am a strategy thinker, an emerging technology connoisseur and a lover of all things automated. My day job is as an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Innovation at the Amsterdam Business School.- University of Amsterdam. After hours, I write, I advise, and I help good ideas grow.
\n
I have taught and researched at numerous other triple-crown business schools as well including Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands, Bayes Business School in the UK (formerly Cass), and NEOMA Business School in France. 
\n
I earned my doctorate in Strategic Management from the Rotterdam School of Management (Erasmus University) in the Netherlands. My background is at the intersection of technology, policy and management with a Master of Science in Management of Technology from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). I am trained as a Civil Engineer from the National Institute of Technology \u2013 Surat in India.
