Built by people who know
this institution from the inside
Spent a decade at upGrad scaling education platforms from startup to institution, then moved into IIT Kharagpur's Director's Office. He brings the commercial instincts of a scaled EdTech operator and the institutional fluency to execute inside a high-scrutiny, reputation-sensitive system.
At IIT Kharagpur's Director's Office, he drives governance and strategic initiatives. Earlier, a key member of the team that launched a first-of-its-kind School of the Future in partnership with Google and IBM; and a Product Manager at AB InBev, building global products, systems, and process controls.
One architects platforms. The other creates markets. Together, they carry the institutional fluency to operate the OCN with the discipline IIT Kharagpur's brand deserves.
