He completed his schooling at DAV Barmana (2001–2010) (now managed by Adani Foundation) and graduated in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Hamirpur in 2014. He began his career with Hero MotoCorp, where alongside work, he prepared for competitive management exams. His growing passion for people management led him to XLRI Jamshedpur, where he earned an MBA in HRM. Following his post-graduation, Nitin joined IDFC First Bank as Manager, Talent Management and Culture, before transitioning to academia to pursue research.

Since his undergraduate days, Nitin has maintained a deep interest in research. His work has been presented at several leading national and international forums, including the Academy of Management (Chicago 2024, Copenhagen 2025), the EGOS Colloquium (Athens, 2025), IISc Bengaluru, and IIM Ahmedabad. His doctoral thesis investigates the intersection of technology and people management, with a particular focus on generative AI, algorithmic management, and their implications for the future of HR.

Beyond technology and management, Nitin’s broader research interests lie in understanding how employees navigate career insecurity and how workplaces evolve with the entry of Gen Z and Gen Alpha into the workforce. His work aspires to bridge the gap between practice and scholarship, bringing fresh insights into the changing nature of work and organizations.
