Sanjith Gopalakrishnan

My research interests are in sustainable operations management and supply chains studying how firms can address environmental and social challenges. 

One focus of my work is on the decarbonization of logistics and supply chains. Another stream of my research focuses on retail operations management, examining the value of coordination in assortment, fulfillment, and pricing decisions. More broadly, I explore how cooperation across firm boundaries can lead to more effective and responsible operations.

Beyond academia, I have collaborated with several organizations on projects involving data analytics, sustainability, and ESG reporting, including Best Buy Canada, Lululemon, Procurify, Partage Club, Volvo, and Lighthouse Labs. I have also served as Director of McGill University's Sustainable Growth Initiative, as a member of the Vancouver City Council Transportation Advisory Committee, and currently serve on the Board of Directors of Green Teams of Canada.

I joined McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management in 2020. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Management from the University of British Columbia and previously completed my B.S. and M.S. in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
