<li>The nature of work includes 1) Academics (which includes teaching and research) and 2) Institution building (which includes placement assistance sessions for LSCM students, admission counselling visits)</li>
<li>I rejoined ISB&amp;M after completing my doctoral work, as part of my prior study leave arrangement. However, at this stage of my academic career, I am seeking an institution that offers a stronger long-term alignment with my research trajectory in Operations Management and analytics-driven infrastructure systems. NICMAR University&rsquo;s clear focus on research development, industry integration, and professional management education in infrastructure and project domains resonates closely with my academic orientation. My decision is therefore guided by alignment with institutional vision and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a research-driven academic ecosystem.&nbsp;</li>
