PROFESSIONAL SYNOPSIS

“Nishant has the enthusiasm and the mobilizing potential for social change.” – Dr. Madan M. Rehani

(During his tenure at the IAEA, Dr. Madan Rehani jointly commemorated the Nobel Peace Prize,2005)

My doctoral thesis delves into the dimensions of financial well-being, while my broader interests encompass

identity, career transition, and liminality. Beyond academia, I am deeply engaged in both private and public

policy sector projects. Collaborating with the government of India, I played a pivotal role in developing a

curriculum on well-being that significantly impacted the lives of over 30,000 girl children. These contributions

earned me recognition as a Harvard delegate for Social Policy and Justice in Asian Countries in 2019. Additionally,

my proactive involvement in review services (Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion,2023), book

projects, prestigious fellowships (Fetzer MSR,2023), and relevant courses greatly enhance my capability to

contribute to management. During my three years of corporate training and

consulting, I have had the chance to positively impact employee well-being across diverse sectors, including HR,

finance, and healthcare.
