I am fortunate to work with an esteemed organization like CSIR-CRRI for more than 17 years.

My journey in the construction sector started in 2005 as a technical executive in a private construction chemical company and then as a scientist in the Central Road Research Institute in the year 2007. It has been an experiential journey full of both learning and excitement. I developed processes, technologies, materials and did several R&D works in the field of highway engineering. I also worked on highway construction sites for implementation of various sustainable road construction technologies and have delivered projects across various geographies of the country.
