Hanu Tyagi

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Supply Chain and Operations department at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. I study tensions between operational outcomes in pharmaceutical supply chains such as novelty, quality and safety, availability, and equity and inclusion. In my dissertation, I examine how transparency inhibits drug novelty (essay 1), expedited approvals impact drug safety (essay 2), and quality failures impact drug availability (essay 3). I compile unique datasets and use empirical research methods to generate insights for operations management theory, practice, and policymakers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Before joining the Ph.D. program, I worked as a Research Associate at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (India). Before entering academia, I worked as a management consultant at EY-Parthenon (Dubai, UAE) and ZS Associates (Pune, India). I also worked in the management trainee program at Ranbaxy Labs. Ltd (Gurgaon, India). I have a Post-Graduate Programme in Management from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (India), and a Bachelor of Technology from the National Institute of Technology, Warangal (India).

On the personal front, I am a traveler, a hiking/trekking enthusiast, and an open-water scuba diver. I am also an avid music lover who is learning Hindustani classical singing.
