My research philosophy

My research philosophy is based on my passionate belief that businesses have a role to play in creating a better world. The marketing research community, in particular, plays an important role in contributing to the betterment of human relations and quality of life globally, through the research and dialogue that they collectively produce. My research interests can be categorized into four broad areas of - Consumer Behavior on Social Networks and Social Media, Sustainable and Conscious Consumption, Cross-cultural Research, Marketing education and pedagogy.
