Experience “Research in Action” by seeing how academic inquiry can uncover structural root causes that standard corporate playbooks and quick fixes may miss. Bring a persistent, live challenge to the table and gain fresh, multidisciplinary perspectives on a problem that has resisted standard operational fixes. In an intimate, high-impact table setting, collaborate directly with IIM Tiruchirappalli faculty, doctoral scholars, and experienced industry peers. Leave with a re-framed problem statement, identified critical evidence gaps, and a practical framework that you can take back and apply within your organization.
Each table operates as a dedicated mini-studio for focused, collaborative dialogue, bringing together diverse perspectives around a live organizational challenge. The Problem Owner presents a real-world challenge from their organization, while Peer Discussants, comprising senior industry leaders, contribute practical and cross-sector perspectives. Faculty Anchors from IIM Tiruchirappalli guide the discussion using a structured diagnostic inquiry framework, and a Doctoral Scholar facilitates the synthesis of ideas while capturing the core research insights emerging from the discussion
