To learn and implement new things and to work in a challenging and growth oriented environment where analytical, logical and leadership qualities are preferred.

• Seeing a student who struggles to overcome obstacles to achieve a high grade or find their passion.
• Witnessing former students grow into successful professionals or educators themselves, creating a "full circle" moment.
• Being honored by Jain University with awards for significant contributions to research, such as publishing a high volume of articles, which validates years of dedicated work.

In my professional journey, I have not limited myself solely to Engineering Chemistry. Over time, I expanded my teaching portfolio to include PU students and CET coaching. As my experience grew, I took on a diverse range of subjects, including Biology for Engineers and the Constitution of India, in addition to my core subject.

I have developed comprehensive course materials for every subject I have taught, ensuring structured, effective learning for students. Beyond teaching, I have actively contributed to institutional development by being a member of the NAAC accreditation committee. I have also played a key role in curriculum development as part of the syllabus design committee.

• The concise summary of PhD journey towards completion at VTU:
• Registration: Officially entered the doctoral program under the supervision of Dr. B. Mahesh (JSSATE), progressing from provisional to confirmed status after finalizing your research area, i.e., Nanomaterials.
• Completed coursework or mandatory foundational subjects, including Research Methodology and the core branches of Chemistry (Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, and Polymer).
• Subsequently, cleared the comprehensive viva within six months of completing the coursework, during which a panel validated my subject expertise and the viability of my research proposal.
• Currently, I am at the stage of publicly presenting the Open Seminar and research findings to gather faculty feedback, a critical prerequisite for finalizing the synopsis and submitting the thesis.
