This is how it all started…

My journey has been a fulfilling expedition across the academic landscape, guided by a profound belief that “geography is a perspective, not a mere subject.” For over two decades, this philosophy has been the cornerstone of my career, first as a dedicated student and now as a passionate educator. My expertise is rooted in human geography, yet my admiration for physical geography ensures a holistic understanding of human-environment interactions.

I have had the privilege of shaping young minds at esteemed institutions like the Competitive Examinations Centre (SPPU), specialising in guiding aspirants for the UPSC and MPSC civil services examinations. The greatest testament to this journey is the success of my students. Seeing them excel in the demanding civil services examination to become IAS, IPS, and IRS officers is immensely rewarding. It validates my teaching methodology and reinforces the power of geographical perspective in building effective administrators.

I have also developed strong expertise in the American Middle School Curriculum for Earth Science and World & US History. I have been simplifying complex human geography concepts for AP Human Geography students to make them engaging and accessible for younger learners.

My training as an e-learning expert has equipped me with the skills to design and deliver effective, structured digital courses that enhance the online learning experience. This journey, from a scholar of the discipline to a mentor for future leaders, has been incredibly purposeful, and I look forward to continuing this mission of enlightening minds.
