After working for more than 25 years in software industry, and spending more than 5 years on my PhD in the field of Software Engineering Education (Why do new hires struggle at product companies in comprehending and evolving complex software systems and how can we help them? ), I am gearing up to create impact in the education ecosystem in India. I wish to operate at the intersection of industry, academia, and policy and focus on the following:

1. Design courses and specializations that align with modern software product engineering and management
2. Create software engineering studios within campuses to provide deep hands-on experience to engineering students
3. Advise product companies and startups on their onboarding process and novice engineer learning programs
4. Support policies and initiatives that impact education at all levels

As India gears up to be a product nation, it is critical that our engineering education produces high-quality engineers who can meet the demand of the product companies and startups. While we graduate more than a million engineer every year, their employability and fitment in product companies and startups leave much to be desired.
