Research

Parikh's research work is primarily focused on leadership, women, and human resources.

Current Research Project: Parikh is currently working on a Self-Reflective Leadership Development model. Her model aims to explore an individual’s leadership capabilities through various orientations in one’s life, work and social spaces. By understanding an individual’s behavior within the three spaces in the context of societal evolution and culture, this model helps individuals prepare for relevant management and leadership roles and responsibilities. This research model is derived from the five cosmic elements - Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Space. It categorizes individuals across seven age groups beginning from the age of 21 up to age of 65 depending on different stages of life. She has also developed “Ardha Nareshwari” model which focuses on potential elements of leadership dimensions for women.[2]
