Professor Deepak Malghan is an Indian ecological economist, social activist and author.[1] He advocates for business ethics and transparency at work and against environmental degradation.[citation needed] He is professor in public policy[2] at Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. He is an adjunct professor at Ashoka Trust for Ecology & Environment.[3]
Activism
[edit]Much after the Kodaikanal mercury poisoning controversy erupted and settled, Malghan wrote a letter to students of his institute in 2018 urging them to dis-invite Hindustan Unilever during campus placement, which created controversy.[4]
Malghan has argued that social diversity at a workplace can improve accountability and transparency.[citation needed] He accused his own institute Indian Institutes of Management of becoming elitist, and not having adequate representation from the underprivileged strata of society.[5] He demanded changes in human resources policies at top management institutes, stating that these institutes have been misusing their autonomy for self-aggrandizement.[6] He protested against the extra income paid to IIM professors for official work such as conducting admission interviews.[citation needed] He made several RTI queries to obtain the pay details of top IIM officials.[citation needed]
IIM Bangalore issued a censure order to him, directing him to retract his e-mails sent to students.[7] Malghan retracted his statement under protest. His fellow faculty members objected to his activities, saying it would hamper campus placement at management institutes.[8]
