ABHISHEK BHATIA

PhD Candidate, Strategy & Entrepreneurship, LBS

I am a PhD Candidate in Strategy & Entrepreneurship area at London Business School. I am on the academic job market in 2025-2026.

My research primarily explores entrepreneurial strategies for scaling, particularly in high-tech contexts. I examine how firms design and scale innovative business models, with a keen interest in understanding the role of technology in shaping competitive advantage as firms grow. My work sits at the intersection of theory and practice, focusing on contemporary phenomena such as blitzscaling, equity-based compensation, and data-driven venture capital.

Before starting my doctoral studies, I was an Investment Banker, working in sell-side and buy-side M&A Advisory roles.
