Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering with a specialisation in Power from the esteemed National Power Training Institute, India, and a Distinction in MBA Fintech from the University of East London, my academic foundation is robust. My passion for teaching, research, and continuous learning has led me to pursue a career in academia, where I aim to inspire the next generation of professionals. Beyond academia, my interests extend to the stock market, and Bloomberg, and I find joy in playing cricket and exploring the world of philately. This multifaceted background defines me as an all-rounder committed to excellence in industry and academia.
My academic foundation exemplifies my commitment to continuous learning. As I transition into academia, my goal is to create an inclusive learning environment that imparts knowledge and encourages curiosity and critical thinking.
Furthermore, my interests extend beyond the professional and academic spheres, encompassing a keen fascination for the stock market, a commitment to staying informed about global economic shifts through platforms like Bloomberg, and a passion for the camaraderie and strategy inherent in cricket. Embracing philately as a hobby reflects not only a personal affinity for history and culture but also serves as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of diverse perspectives, an ethos I aim to foster in the educational realm. In summary, my professional journey, enriched by diverse experiences and a commitment to continuous learning, positions me as an academic professional ready to inspire and equip the next generation. My multifaceted background, merging industry expertise, technological proficiency, and a passion for holistic education, underscores my dedication to preparing students not just for the challenges of the energy sector but for the broader complexities of the global professional landscape.
