About Me

It all started sometime in September 1961, I joined Hindustan Motors Ltd., then the premiere automobile company of the country, as a fresh mechanical engineering graduate from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Right on the first day of my training, I was made to work on a turret lathe for almost the entire shift, as the man concerned was to go to attend to his ailing father without prior notice. From that day onwards, I started spending all my time in the field of manufacturing. I was learning new things every day and was contributing to the field till I retired as General manager-Corporate Project Planning. During my career, I shared my experience in manufacturing by writing few books. This website (or weblog as I have heard they refer to these) is an extension of my lifelong pursuit of sharing what I know or feel with one and all.

In order to make this exercise somewhat simpler for me (and you perhaps), I am sharing here my “profile” as documented in one of my books. Enjoy..
