Abstract: The discipline of Economics has, over time, evolved to incorporate Industrial Economics as a unique and contextual field of inquiry and practice, incorporating insights not only from the structures and functioning of firms and markets, but also the constitution of such firms in different cultural, social, and political contexts around the world. In extension, thus, this has come to mean understanding the leadership of firms, their organizational practices, their business methods, their very own entity - in this form laying claim to their legacy of corporate personhood, under the guardianship of stewards who often benefit from biased and longstanding cultures of masculinity, patriarchy, and gendered operational notions of efficiency and productivity. This paper thus hopes to understand and deconstruct corporate culture, reviewing in the specific Indian context critical voids in the existing theoretical frameworks surrounding the industrial organization within the study of economics. By locating critical elements of gender and culture within these popular discourses, it aims to diversity the same and foster a greater factor of scholarly differentiation - primary hoping for an ability to gain more inclusive and all round understandings of economics as it exists at the base and substructural levels of the capitalist economy.
