Protocol before outcome
A result is only as trustworthy as the process that produced it. I build the documentation, review gates and audit trails that let findings stand up to scrutiny.

01 Who I am
Accomplished researcher and academic leader with a Ph.D. in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from IIT Bombay and 17+ years spanning pharmaceutical R&D, institutional governance, and large-scale digital education. I pair hands-on research experience — including regulatory-compliant laboratory operations at Cipla under CDSCO and GMP frameworks — with senior governance at the National Digital Library of India, a Ministry of Education (NMEICT) initiative serving learners nationwide. My work sits across the full research lifecycle: responsible conduct of research, data privacy, IP, and publication ethics, informed by doctoral training, pharmaceutical compliance, an active scholarly-communication publication record, and continued study in responsible AI, bibliometrics, and systematic review.

How I work
Method carried from the laboratory bench into institutional governance.
02
Governance people will actually use
The best SOP is the one researchers follow. I design policy and training that translate abstract standards into daily practice — clear, proportionate, humane.
03
Integrity is a culture, not a checklist
Compliance keeps you legal; culture keeps you honest. I work across committees, mentoring and advocacy to make ethical conduct the default, not the exception.
Statement
Good research earns trust one honest decision at a time. My job is to make the honest decision the easy one — through systems clear enough to follow and culture strong enough to want to.
