I am an Assistant Professor (Academic Level 11) and Head of the Department of Commerce at K.E.T.'s V. G. Vaze College of Arts, Science & Commerce (Empowered Autonomous), Mulund, Mumbai. I have been associated with the institution as a faculty member since August 2013 and have been serving as Head of the Department since July 2026.
I am passionate about the teaching profession, and the following words continue to inspire me: “Teaching is the mother of all professions; it creates all other professions.” I believe in maintaining a positive outlook towards life and bringing the same approach to my teaching and professional responsibilities.
I currently teach Management (Commerce III & IV) and Export Marketing to SYBCOM and TYBCOM students, respectively. Previously, I served as a Visiting Faculty member for the M.Com. programme at Mulund College of Commerce (MCC), where I taught Research Methodology for Business, and for the TYB.Voc. programme at Vaze College, where I taught Marketing and Human Resource Management.
Research is an important part of my academic journey. I have presented research papers at national and international conferences and published papers in academic journals. My research interests include Commerce and Management, Human Resource Management, Consumer Behaviour, Emerging Technologies, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I). I have also received awards for research paper presentations at academic conferences.
Alongside teaching and research, I am involved in academic administration, student mentoring, research guidance, and the organisation of academic and co-curricular activities.
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. while continuing my teaching and other academic responsibilities.
I value continuous learning and believe that every opportunity to teach, learn, and interact with students and fellow academicians contributes to my professional development.
