Dr Ramakrushna Padhy has received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He also has a B.Tech in Mechanical engineering and PG diploma in Industrial Engineering. He has 28 years of teaching, research and consulting experience in the area of process management.
His research examines how organisations design, implement, and sustain transformation in the face of operational and technological change. Working at the intersection of operations management, digitalisation, and sustainability, his scholarship explores the implementation of organisational transformation initiatives, including process reform, Business Process Reengineering (BPR), Lean, and Six Sigma, with as well as with behavioural dimensions that shape their success. His recent work focuses on the growing role of Industry 4.0 technologies like digital twin, additive manufacturing and AI , across manufacturing, and healthcare and défense. Drawing on more than a decade of industry consulting experience, his research combines academic rigour with field-based, action-oriented inquiry, translating practical organisational challenges into impactful research and publications in leading international journals. His current research explores the interplay between artificial intelligence and process reform, with a particular emphasis on developing AI-enabled use cases that translate research insights into practical, real-world applications.
His consulting expertise encompasses process reform, business process reengineering, and the application of digital technologies to enhance organisational performance. His work places particular emphasis on assessing organisational design and effectiveness through a systems perspective, supporting policy formulation and evaluation, and exploring emerging areas such as platform strategy and digital twin applications. These areas of expertise are reflected in an extensive consulting portfolio comprising around 50 assignments undertaken for a diverse range of public-sector, private-sector, government, research, and international organisations. His consulting engagements include research and scientific organisations such as DRDO, ICFRE, and the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Odisha; major public-sector undertakings including the Airports Authority of India, NALCO, NTPC, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, OMC, OPTCL, Bharat Electronics, ONGC, OHPC, OKCL, and OCAC; and leading private-sector organisations such as Reliance Industries, the Aditya Birla Group, L&T, and Bharat Gears Ltd. He has also undertaken assignments for various government departments and ministries, including the Ministry of Power, Ministry of MSME, Ministry of Rural Development, and Department of IT, as well as for international development agencies such as UNIDO, UNDP, and the World Bank.
He has played a leading role in designing, coordinating, and delivering around 70 Management Development Programmes (MDPs) for a diverse range of organisations across the public and private sectors. His responsibilities have included programme conceptualisation and design, development of customised learning content, facilitation of sessions, and engagement with participants and organisational stakeholders. His MDP engagements include programmes for leading organisations and institutions such as Tata Chemicals, Tata Motors, NINL, IICM, NTPC, OCC, NALCO, ONGC, MCL, SECL, IOCL, HPCL, the Department of Education, and the Department of School and Mass Education of Odisha and Uttarakhand. In addition, he has designed and conducted open Management Development Programmes that brought together participants from various Central Government ministries, state governments, and organisations across India.
Before joining IIM Sambalpur in 2021, Dr Padhy worked for more than seven years at IIM Kashipur including Asst Dean at Dehradun Campus and before that, he held senior leadership roles at the National Productivity Council, under DPIIT, Ministry of Industry and Commerce Govt. of India, New Delhi.
