About me

I am Dr. Ritika Mahajan, a faculty member in General Management and Strategy at the Department of Management Studies, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur. I hold a PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee as a UGC-sponsored fellow, and my doctoral research has been published as a book by Bloomsbury Publishers. Previously, I taught and coordinated the MBA (Sustainability Management) program at TERI School of Advanced Studies and have served as a visiting trainer at the Indian Institute of Coal Management and the Rajasthan Police Academy. I’ve also held visiting faculty positions at Shiv Nadar University, IIIT Lucknow, TERI SAS, and the University of Delhi.

 

In consultancy, I have worked with the United Nations Environment Program and the Ministry of MSME, Government of India. I’ve authored over 30 research papers, five book chapters, and 50 articles, and delivered over 50 sessions in international and national forums. I teach courses in strategy, communication, and ethics, and I love engaging with students on business, management, and life topics. As the Wellness Coordinator at MNIT, I advocate for mental health awareness and work closely with the Dean of Student Welfare.

 

Beyond academia, I enjoy blogging, reading, and I am an avid lover of Shiv Kumar Batalvi’s poetry. I’m also a mother to our eight-year-old daughter Anandini, who inspires me daily. Teaching allows me to rediscover myself, and I find joy in discussing education and various issues with my students.
