I identify myself as a lifelong learner, who learns from every life experience and every academic endeavour. In my career as an academic, I have always strived to mentor and guide students, not just teach concepts. I have learnt from them more than I could possibly have taught them. My aim as a teacher has always been to simplify concepts, relate concepts to real life and pique students' interest in Economics, as they enjoy 'learning' through their life. I actively seek to make efforts to raise the profile of our institution, through outreach activities that extend a helping hand to society through student activities and departmental events under the collective guidance of my colleagues.
