In an era of multi and interdisciplinary research, I am lucky to be teaching and guiding research in Management of Intellectual property rights (IPRs) after completing Ph.D. from DMS,IITDelhi. My tryst with Intellectual Property(IP) trainining after being awarded the DST Fellowship,motivated me to pursue a Ph.D degree. I possess two NET qualifications: a) conducted by UGC-CSIR and b) conducted by Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (ASRB).

With more than 20 years of experience as a teacher, researcher, writer and an IPR professional, I have worked in both public (TIFAC, ICMR) and private (NGO) sectors.

I am trying to integrate intellectual property with all the core areas of Mgmt: Marketing, Strategy, HR and Finance.
My prime areas of research are strategic IP issues, Management of Innovation/Technology, IP and Open innovation.
Currently, I am also exploring the area of IP analytics using patent data in predictive modelling with Artificial Intelligence(AI) & Machine Learning(ML).

Social impact of IPRs is a new penchant in this direction. However, I keep myself open to other promising areas as well.

My journey as a writer has touched upon topics of science, climate change, various aspects of IPR policy
& management themes. I have presented diverse papers in India and abroad (London,Singapore, Cambridge) and kept abreast with the developments in my area.
