Neelam is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Management Division at Columbia Business School and the Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change. Her research examines the social and geographic predictors of new venture formation and success. Understanding why certain neighborhoods generate and sustain greater entrepreneurial activity than others is central to informing business practice and addressing persistent spatial inequalities. Separately, she is also exploring how AI can be better leveraged in the classroom to improve student learning outcomes.

Neelam combines big data, social network analysis, and causal identification approaches across her work. Check out her recent publications, or send her an email at njm2180@gsb.columbia.edu.
