After more than 35 years in industry, I now serve as Professor of Practice in Business Strategy at T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), my MBA alma mater. In this role, I draw upon my experience in engineering, innovation, strategy, operations and business leadership to help prepare the next generation of business leaders.
Before joining TAPMI, I was President of Honeywell Technology Connected Solutions, overseeing operations across India, Europe, Mexico and the US. My focus was on driving growth through innovation, new product development and customer engineering services across Aerospace Technologies, Process Automation, Industrial Automation, Building Automation and Process Technologies.
During more than 28 years at Honeywell, I held several business and engineering leadership positions. As Vice President of Honeywell’s Aerospace Engineering organisation in India, I led the development of products used on aircraft platforms from Airbus, Boeing, Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer and others. My experience spans avionics, engines, auxiliary power units and mechanical systems.
Earlier, as Director of Honeywell Turbo Technologies in India, I established the company’s automotive engineering presence in the country and helped secure significant turbocharger business in domestic and international markets. This involved working closely with automotive OEMs on product development, manufacturing and localisation.
Before joining Honeywell in 1999, I worked in product management and marketing roles at Digital Equipment Corporation and TVS Electronics.
Alongside teaching, I am interested in contributing to initiatives in sustainability and corporate social responsibility. I look forward to advisory and mentoring roles with startups and growing enterprises, particularly where my experience in innovation, technology, strategy and scaling businesses can add value.
I hold a Ph.D. in Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore; an MBA from TAPMI; and a bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering from Bangalore University. I hold five patents and have authored numerous publications.
