I am also the Lead Advisor for Data Science Projects and Research Collaborations for BriteYellow Private Ltd in India, and a Cloud Computing Consultant for MIT Square in the United Kingdom. As the team lead for several years in industries such as Satyam, Mahindra Satyam, and Tech Mahindra, I have led research projects and collaborations. Throughout my career, I have published articles in national and international journals, made numerous conference presentations, peer-reviewed, and edited chapters in scholarly books and served as a reviewer for Transactions, Inderscience and Springer Journals. I have initiated many international research collaborations, started joint research projects between VIT University and several industries, and served as a guest editor for journals such as Inderscience, Springer, and IGI Global.
