Research Works · Active enquiries

The questions worth working on.

Six research themes I am actively exploring — drawn from three decades of practice and shaped by the questions that recur across boards, founders and operating teams. Each is being developed through field engagements, dialogue and writing.

01

Active enquiry

Integrated Excellence

People, process and performance as one connected system.

02

In research

The Founding-CHRO Discipline

Promoter-led to professionally-driven, without losing speed.

03

Active enquiry

GenAI in the HR Function

Sequencing platform, automation, intelligence and policy.

04

In research

Industrial Relations as a Leadership Muscle

The discipline most enterprises retired before they should have.

05

Active enquiry

CSR, ESG & the Licence to Operate

Sustainability and community as core practice, not adjacent function.

06

In research

The Future of Work in an Indian Context

Hybrid, gig, GCC and the leadership systems they demand.

07

Active enquiry

Culture Building — Values, Behaviours & Practices

How shared values become observable behaviours, and behaviours harden into practice.

08

In research

Hiring the Right Talent — Talent Acquisition Excellence

From job design and sourcing to assessment, decision and onboarding — done as one craft.

Each theme will surface progressively through articles in the LinkedIn newsletters, talks and writing — and through the practice itself.

Where the research surfaces

Follow the dispatches as they publish.

Three LinkedIn newsletters carry the in-progress work — each on its own page.
