Teaching is a selfish getaway to learning. Teaching has always helped me to reiterate my knowledge on design, its problems, contexts and impacts to bring more clarity to my own work. Teaching forces me to get into serious reading, collate cutting edge research work in design; build my own models, hypothesis for research explorations.

I joined IDC, to re-learn concepts of design which had sparked curiosity in me during my masters course. I assisted senior professors: Prof A G Rao, Prof Uday Athvankar in subjects like Elements of Design, Studies in form, Product Interaction Design, Orientation, Design Thesis, CEED entrance committee.

Worked on consulting Design and Research for Unilever, UNIDO, Bamboo Studio
