Abstract
Organizational scholarship has devoted considerable attention to diversity research like race, class and gender. However,
sparse research has considered caste and its effects on organizations and the individuals within them, especially when
organizations like MNEs operate in and originate from South Asia where caste is a pervasive institution. We conceptualize
the caste system as a social informal institution that influences economic action in contemporary South Asia. We then
discuss the effect of caste on MNEs operating in South Asia, focusing on human resource practices for illustration.
Further, our framework paves the way for future research to elaborate on the effects of caste on these MNEs.
