Notes
Former Distinguished Scientist ISRO

He has worked as Deputy Director, Range Operations (RO), Deputy Director, Vehicle Assembly and Static Test (VAST) Facility. He also served as Controller SDSC SHAR. He contributed significantly to the Satellite recovery experiment,[7] Chandrayan-1, Mangalyaan [8][9] and many other missions. ISRO’s prestigious Multi Object Tracking Radar (MOTR) [10][11] was designed, developed[12] and commissioned under his guidance as Project Director. He is responsible for developing and implementing Software for Computerisation Of Working Administrative areas for ISRO in all centres. He has visited numerous colleges[13][14] and universities[15] to deliver motivational talks[16][17] to students in science and technology.
