I am Prashant Shukla, a PhD Candidate in Business Administration at the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Vancouver Canada. A Nepalese citizen and a US permanent resident, I lived in Kathmandu for the first 2 decades (almost) of my life before moving to the US for my education. I received my bachelors in economics from Sewanee and my masters in the same discipline from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. Then on I worked for several years in the US and in India (Global Shares, Institute for Competitiveness) before coming back for a doctorate to Beedie School of Business.
My current research interests include entrepreneurship and innovation, economics of creative & cultural industries, and the theory of crowd capital. I am currently finishing my dissertation at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where I am also a Fellow at the Creative Destruction Lab.
In my free time, I like to play squash, lift weights, watch TV and movies, and listen to music. I am big on classic rock and old Hindi and Nepali songs. I am also a lot into Pacino and De Niro movies. But after getting married, my affinity for chick flicks has increased exponentially. 🙂
