Academics- Phase-1: May 1984 - May 1999

       I started my teaching career during May 1984 at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. I taught Courses like: Control Systems Engineering , Numerical Methods and Programming with FORTRAN-IV, Non-Conventional Energy Sources and Utilisation, Engineering Thermodynamics, Applied Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Fluid ynamics, Programming with C,   Finite Element Methods ,CAD/CAM/CAE  and CNC Technology and Programming.   I trained students on Engine Testing,  FORTRAN-IV Programming ,C-Programming, 2D Modelling using Autocad , 3D Modelling using  Pro/Engineer  and FE Analysis using ANSYS.
        
         I was known as a great teacher and a large number of students underwent my courses.

      During this period I authored 9 books that include : Non-Conventional Energy Sources and Utilisation, Engineering Thermodynamics, Applied Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Mechanical Measurements, CAD/CAM/CAE, Control Systems Engineering, C-Programming. Numerical Methods and Computer Programming with FORTRAN. In addition, a number of Laboratory Manuals were authored for the benefit of students. 

        I supervised more than 60 undergradaute students projects and my students could win a number of project awards at National level.
 

Academics- Phase-2: June 1999 - December 2013

        During June 1999, I became the Founder Director of  the " M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies" . Later in 2011 I was re-designated as President of M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies. At School of Advanced studies, I took the lead to create new postgraduate programmes to meet the human resources requirements of multinational companies that were being established in large number in Bangalore.​I took the initiative of learning a number of new courses and offering them to the new generation engineering graduates. At M S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies  I taught: ​Thermodynamics and combustion, Turbomachinery Design, Fluid Dynamics, Power Train Engineering, Vehicle Dynamics, Handling and Simulation,Noise. Vibration and Harshness, Vehicle Aerodynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics. 

      During this period I started providing training in courses like Vehicle Dynamics, Power Train Engineering,      Control Systems Engineering for companies like​Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services,Mahindra, Eicher Motors, General Electric, Volvo, Honeywell Laboratories, Infosys,Bosch India,SKF Bangalore
and Many more
  
     I must have trained more than 1000 engineers from Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Eischer Motors alone during this period​ During this period I  supervised more than 50 postgraduate dissertations and a few PhDs
.

Academics- Phase-3: January 2014 - May 2018

On 8th  January 2014, I became the Founder Vice Chancellor of  M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences.  ​As a Vice Chancellor, I developed the organisation, created the faculties and recruited people for all the key positions and implemented
 
•    Choice Based Credit System
•    Outcome Based Education and Learner Centric Practices
•    Project Based Learning Practices
•    MOOCs as a tool for Training for Lifelong Learning
•    Diagnostic tests for differentiating learning abilities
•    Minors for Advanced Learners
•    Credit Management for Slow Learners and Extra Contact Hours
•    Library of Video Lectures
•    Open elective to enlarge students’ horizon
•    Opportunities for Study Abroad
•    Opportunities for semester abroad or year  abroad
•    World Class Learning Facilities
•    Developed 25 industry relevant, highly popular master’s programme in Engineering
•    Created diverse faculties in the University and made to work towards a common goal
•    Blended Education-Flipped Learning and Online Education
•    Online Proctored Examination
•    NAAC Accreditation documentation and NIRF documentation  ​    

During this period my focus was more on faculty development and Teaching and Learning methods. As such I did not teach any courses during this period,however, I continued to conduct training courses for companies and faculty members​ I left the position of Vice Chancellor and Ramaiah group of Institutions on 31st May 2018 with more than 34 years of dedicated service which I did it passionately.

Academics- Phase-4: June 2018- October 2022

Subsequent to relinquishing the position of Vice Chancellor at M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences,​ I worked as a Dean-IQAC at REVA University Bangalore  for a two months period (June2018-August 2018), Pro-Vice Chancellor-PES University for 8 months ( September 2018- March 2019 ) where I introduced Virtual Laboratory  practices and also I taught a course on Automobile Engineering; Pro-Vice Chancellor of Dayananda Sagar University for 11 months ( April 2019- February 2020)  worked on NAAC Documentation and Virtual Teaching. Returned to REVA University as Pro-Vost  during March 2020 and later Advisor-Technical at REVA University. In the month of August 2021, I joined as Executive Director of East Point group of Institutions and worked till October 31, 2022. All these positions I took on invitation basis.

Now, I am pursuing my interest in Online University.
