Chintapalli
Dr. Prashant Chintapalli is an Assistant Professor in the Production and Operations Management department at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.
Prashant’s research interests focus on the operational issues faced by firms in emerging economies (i.e., developing countries). The operational issues faced in developing countries are often complicated with more stringent resource constraints and the large scale of the problems. Hence, it becomes imperative and relevant to modify the already established policies or to design new policies that account for these new challenges that occur in the context of emerging economies.
His current research is primarily on social responsibility issues in supply chains, with an objective to design policies and make decisions that can result in Pareto improvement of supply chain partners. He develops stylized models to analyze the strategic interactions of various players in a supply chain and infer managerial insights. Apart from social responsibility, Prashant’s research interests also span across broader topics like capacity & inventory management and pricing. He actively publishes in peer-reviewed journals like Management Science, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, Production and Operations Management, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Annals of OR, and Naval Research Logistics. He is also a recipient of awards like the “Emerging Economies Doctoral Student Award” (conferred by POMS) and “Pratibha” (conferred by the Government of Andhra Pradesh).
Prashant’s teaching interests involve courses on operations and supply chain management, probability and stochastic processes, operations analytics, optimization and operations research, dynamic programming, and game theory.
Please note: I am currently not accepting any internship applications given the current pandemic situation. I thank you for your interest in pursuing an opportunity with me.
