Welcome to my website! I'm a scientist with a background in wet lab research, where I synthesized biologically active compounds and developed novel synthetic routes using metal and enzyme catalysts. Over time, my interests have expanded beyond the lab into the realm of science policy—a space where I now focus much of my work and energy.

My core passion lies in making the research ecosystem more efficient, responsible, and responsive to local needs. Open Science is at the heart of my research interests, and I’m committed to advancing transparency, collaboration, and equitable access in the scientific community.

I’m actively involved in policy work and have contributed to several key Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policy documents in India. These include the draft of the 5th National STI Policy, the Scientific Research Infrastructure Sharing Maintenance and Networks (SRIMAN) guidelines, and the Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR) guidelines developed by the Department of Science & Technology (DST).

I currently serve on several international committees:

If you have questions, ideas, or would like to collaborate on topics related to science policy, Open Science, or research system reform, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out via email.

Thank you for visiting my website, I look forward to connecting with you!
