About

Akshay Dvivedi is a leading researcher in sustainable operations and digital transformation, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). His work bridges the critical intersection of lean manufacturing, green operations, and digitalisation, aiming to create practical frameworks for resource-constrained SMEs to enhance both efficiency and environmental performance. His most cited paper, "Prioritising elements of digitalisation for lean and green SME operations: an ISM-MICMAC study in the Indian context" (2025, 9 citations), develops a conceptual framework that identifies and prioritises key digital elements—such as IoT, cloud computing, and data analytics—to drive lean and green outcomes. This work is notable for its methodological rigour, employing interpretive structural modelling to map complex interrelationships among digitalisation factors. Dvivedi’s research is highly impactful for practitioners and policymakers seeking actionable strategies for sustainable industrial growth. His contributions are particularly relevant in the Indian context, where SMEs form the backbone of the economy but often lack resources for advanced sustainability initiatives. By providing a structured pathway for digital adoption, Dvivedi is helping shape the future of eco-efficient manufacturing in emerging economies.
