I am positively inquisitive and optimistic by nature. I believe learning is an ever-enriching process, so I never stop teaching myself new things—both on the professional and personal front. Design is a service that cannot be discipline specific, but as an individual, textile design is my area of interest and expertise. I also feel a good work-life balance is important for the long run. I had been involved in a startup venture of designing and manufacturing handloom textiles in West Bengal between 2017 and 2020. This was a huge learning experience for me because we were handling everything from scratch to the final retailing of the products. In 2022 while working with Urban Ladder, Bangalore, I conducted a research on the upholstery preferences of the Indian customers. It involved travelling to 5 major cities in India and taking personal interviews with prior appointments with them to understand why people buy what they buy. The research findings were assimilated and analyzed for insights and actionables. Design Thinking and Foundation Modules excite me a lot at present and I am majorly involved with the same at RV University. I have worked in the industry for 11 years after completing my master’s degree from NID, and academia seemed to be a natural calling after a point. I am glad I have chosen this path.

Dr Guduru Shravani

Posted on by santosh

My academic journey has always been driven by curiosity about people at work — what motivates them, how they perform, and how organizations can support them better. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor in the area of Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior. I hold a Ph.D. from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (NIT Trichy), where my research focused on understanding the performance dynamics of gig workers within the growing platform economy.

Before my doctoral studies, I earned an MBA in HR and OB from Kakatiya University, Warangal, and a B.Tech in Mining Engineering from IIT (BHU) Varanasi. This combination of technical and management education has helped me develop a balanced perspective that connects analytical thinking with human behavior.

My research has been published in Scopus and ABDC-listed journals, including Global Knowledge, Memory and Communication. I have presented my work at several national and international conferences, such as those organized by the National Academy of Psychology (NAOP) and NIT Trichy. I was also a visiting research scholar at the University of Missouri, Columbia (USA) under the SPARC project, where I explored how HRM practices impact gig workers’ well-being.

My academic interests include Digital HR, Talent Management, Job Design, Work Engagement, and Employee Performance. As a teacher and researcher, I strive to make learning meaningful by connecting theory with practice.

Subhasis Bhattacharjee

Posted on by santosh

With a strong foundation in data science and applied artificial intelligence, I have been deeply engaged in exploring the intersection of analytics, automation, and intelligent systems. My work has involved developing AI-driven solutions for domains ranging from demand forecasting and business optimization to generative AI and autonomous research systems.

Before transitioning into academia, I worked on several data-centric projects that combined research and industry practices — from building predictive models and deep learning pipelines to integrating large language models (LLMs) for automation and decision support. My academic background includes a Master’s in Data Science, where I focused on bridging theoretical understanding with real-world problem-solving across image recognition, natural language processing, and multimodal analytics.

My current areas of research interest include generative AI, machine learning, and intelligent automation, with an emphasis on creating adaptive systems that enhance human decision-making, interpretability, and creativity. I am also interested in explainable AI (XAI) and its role in ensuring transparency and trust in deep learning models.

I have co-authored a publication titled “PCNN-based grape leaf disease detection using MobileNetV2 and ViT with XAI,” presented at the 5th International Conference on Data Science, Computation, and Security (IDSCS 2024) and published in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (Springer, SCOPUS Q4).

Pranjul Shula

Posted on by santosh

I’m Pranjul Shukla, a Computer Science professional driven by an enduring passion to explore and teach the answers born out of curiosity and logic. Having completed my Master of Computer Applications (MCA), I have developed strong expertise across Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and core programming languages such as C, C++, DSA and Python with core CS subjects.

My academic and project journey reflects my love for connecting theory with application. Notably, I developed a Driver Drowsiness Detection System that integrates CNN, OpenCV, and dlib—a project demonstrating both analytical depth and real-world relevance. I have also contributed to projects involving data analysis and intelligent automation, each designed to transform technical understanding into practical innovation.

As an educator, I strive to make Computer Science a subject of reasoning, not memorization. I take pride in simplifying complex concepts for students and inspiring them to approach technology as a language of problem-solving. My teaching focuses on helping learners build clarity, confidence, and creativity—qualities essential for future innovators.

Beyond teaching, I actively explore research in AI-based systems and continuously refine my pedagogy through student feedback, interdisciplinary learning, and emerging technologies. My ultimate goal is to nurture minds that think critically, code logically, and innovate meaningfully, bridging the gap between academic concepts and real-world impact.
