After completing my graduation in Electronics and Telecom Engineering from University College of Engineering, Burla, Odisha and further completion of Post Graduate Diploma in Management from Xavier Institute of Management, I worked with Odisha State Government and undertook roles of varied capacities before switching over to Norsk Brann consult AS, Norway as Director supervising operations in India. I also was Managing Director for a 100% Export Oriented unit and was looking after clients all over USA and Europe. I subsequently worked as Project Consultant for National Productivity Council, Government of India and was a part of their consulting assignments all over India. I enrolled for doctoral program and completed my PhD from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar. With this, the transition of my career from Industries to academics began.

During my academic journey, I taught in different Universities. I have taught Strategic Management for MBA students at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XUB) and for BBA-LLB students at National Law University, Cuttack for a period of 3 years. My research interests are in the fields of Organisation studies, transition strategies for sustainability, and indicators for sustainable performance.
