I have more than 25 years of professional and academic experience in Human Resource Management. I am currently working as a Professor & HOD at MBA Department of B.M.S. College of Engineering . I have been associated with this institution since October 2005. Apart from lecturing and facilitating learning, the job profile also includes co-ordination of various department-related activities. Before that, I worked as a lecturer at M.V.J. College of Engineering and C.M.R. Institute of Management Studies. Also worked as an Associate Consultant for Sampoorna Computers and as an HR Executive at S.M. International, Bangalore.
