My work

I have been delivering guest lectures and training programmes for more than a decade. The majority of the trainings have been in the area of technology implementations such as development tools, web design, digital marketing, business intelligence and AI. I have also been a advisor/consultant for technology projects implemented by various MSME in and around Mumbai region. Over the last few years I have collaborated with my respected peers in publishing chapters for books.
