Director — RACE, REVA Academy for Corporate Excellence · Fulbright Fellow · EduTech Expert
I build outcome-based education that industry can measure — and that pays for itself.
For 25 years I've turned emerging technology into executive capability: leading RACE, architecting India's Master's programs in AI, Cybersecurity and Analytics, and delivering 50+ enterprise training programs end to end.
◆ Fulbright Fellow — Lehigh University, USA
A cross-functional academic leader who has grown RACE into a self-sustaining EdTech venture — owning P&L, program architecture, alliances and research, end to end.
Most academics design courses. I design ventures that produce measurable outcomes and hold their own on a balance sheet. Since 2015, RACE has grown to train over a thousand professionals a year for the country's most demanding employers — with curricula I engineered, partners I brought to the table, and research I lead.
Twenty-five years, stated as measured line items. This is what outcome-based leadership adds up to.
Four connected practices — each feeding the next, from research through to enterprise delivery.
Custom AI, ML and cybersecurity certification tracks for enterprise cohorts — designed, delivered and measured against real capability gains.
Outcome-based education frameworks and curriculum engineering across every program — including a 100%-simulation M.Tech in Cybersecurity and a research-driven M.Tech in AI.
Supervising doctoral and Master's research, leading AI product development and cybersecurity consultancy, and reviewing for international journals.
Building the alliances that make emerging-tech education credible — global technology partners, senior industry mentors, and incubation infrastructure.
Not courses — institutions. Each of these I designed, launched and scaled.
REVA Academy for Corporate Excellence — grown into a self-sustaining EdTech P&L inside a university, training 1,000+ professionals a year.
A 100%-simulation program backed by a campus SOC and Cyber Range — enabling hyper-emulated attack–defense research rarely found in academia.
A research-driven Master's co-created with industry partners, built to move graduates from theory to deployable, real-world AI.
Working-professional Master's in Business Analytics, AI and Cybersecurity — ranked among India's top programs by industry bodies.
Programs built for a specific business problem and a specific audience — from the boardroom to the SOC.
50+ programs, 100+ organisations. Every engagement starts with the capability gap and ends with people who can do the work. A selection of what we run:
Bespoke cohorts · On-site or blended · Certified outcomes
Perspectives on outcome-based education, EdTech and the frontier where academia meets enterprise.

Industry practice
I collaborate with enterprises, institutions and founders on work that turns emerging technology into measurable capability.
Build a program, capability track or EdTech product together — from concept and curriculum through to launch, with shared ownership of the outcome.
Custom AI, ML and cybersecurity programs designed around your team's specific capability gap and measured against real results.
Applied research, doctoral co-supervision and publications at the intersection of AI, analytics, cybersecurity and management.
Guidance on outcome-based curriculum design, building a self-sustaining EdTech venture, and enterprise AI/cyber capability strategy.
Whether it's a project partnership, a corporate training engagement, a research collaboration or an alliance — I'd be glad to talk.
