Profile
An academic perspective grounded in more than two decades of practice.
I work across supply chain management, operations strategy and interdisciplinary decision systems. My research examines how economic reasoning, analytical methods and emerging digital tools can be applied to consequential operational and societal problems.
Before and alongside academia, I worked across logistics, warehousing, distribution, process improvement and project operations. That experience continues to shape how I structure research questions: theory must illuminate the decision, evidence must withstand scrutiny, and technical sophistication must remain managerially interpretable.
I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, and a doctoral scholar at the University of Engineering & Management.
Research
Five connected domains
Management is the foundation. The questions extend further.
Agentic Commerce & AI Governance
Custobots, delegated purchasing, platform bias, counterfactual audit and accountable machine customers.
Edge Intelligence & Autonomous Systems
Energy-aware computation, UAV telemetry, adaptive offloading and resource-constrained AI.
Disaster Intelligence & Public-Safety AI
Anticipatory governance, weak signals, cascading disasters and contestable federated intelligence.
Complex Systems & Theoretical Physics
Analytical onset criteria, graph connectivity, percolation and multiscale physical systems.
Projects

Teaching
Classroom practice
Teaching decisions, not only definitions.
My teaching focuses on supply chain management, operations strategy, strategic sourcing, procurement, logistics, business ethics and decision frameworks. Courses connect conceptual foundations with cases, operational evidence and the judgement required to act under constraint.
Curriculum development, mentoring and professional training are informed by both academic research and hands-on industry experience.
Contact
Open to measured, well-scoped collaboration.
Research collaboration, academic engagement and advisory work where depth, rigour and long-term thinking are valued.
