Biography
Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode
Dr. Deepak Dhayanithy is Associate Professor of Strategic Management at IIM Kozhikode. He has been at IIM Kozhikode since 2011, offering and teaching elective courses to MBA and PhD students – on sports, analytics, decision-making, poker and strategy. His research includes sports phenomena and the natural environment. During the first decade of this century, he completed his PhD (Fellow, IIM Lucknow) and witnessed the unfolding of the sub-prime crisis from his perch in the subprime mortgages industry. In the 1990s he studied architecture and worked as an architect before turning to management studies. Born and raised near Elliot’s Beach in Madras, he spent an inordinate amount of time playing and following a range of sports and games. His academic writing includes research papers in sports contexts, book reviews for sports management journals, views in news outlets and the book, ‘Strategy Huddle – management lessons from sports’. It is his understanding that there is more to sports than fun and games, and that the tough competition in sports makes it a good petri-dish to study the complexities of strategy. He takes heart in what Albert Camus said regarding morality, “everything I know most surely about morality and duty, I owe to football”. He is married to Dr. Anjana Bhagyanathan who teaches architecture at NIT Calicut. Their kids enjoy playing sports which the author continues to try and understand.
