Students' seminars at IISER Pune: 

• Mar-Dec 2025: Founding co-organiser, Student Seminar Series, Department of Mathematics, IISER Pune: A student-led platform for sharing ideas among students, postdocs, and early-career researchers.

• Aug-Dec 2023: Delivered a series of weekly lectures on ‘Arithmetic’ to M.Sc. and Ph.D. students at IISER Pune, with the goal of introducing the beauty of the p-adic world and proving the Hasse-Minkowski theorem, the local-global principle for quadratic forms. Here is the lecture notes. (I extend my gratitude to Mridul Biswas and Dhrubajyoti Das for delivering two lectures in my absence.)

• June 2022: Delivered a couple of lectures on Infinite Galois Theory to PhD first-year and M.Sc final-year students, introducing concepts such as inverse limits, Krull topology, and culminating in the fundamental theorem of infinite Galois theory.
