Rv university-mysore

Founding Director

Jan 2026Present · 3 mos · Mysore, Karnataka, India · On-site

  • I am pleased to share that I have taken on the responsibility of Pro Vice-Chancellor and Director, RV University – Mysore Campus.
  • This role offers a rare opportunity to shape a new campus from the ground up, with responsibility across infrastructure development, academic strategy, branding, and outreach. As RV University expands its footprint, the Mysore campus represents a chance to build an institution that is future-ready, inclusive, and deeply connected to society.
  • My leadership philosophy is anchored in the belief that institutions grow when people grow. I strongly value collaborative leadership, academic freedom with accountability, and decision-making guided by long-term impact rather than short-term gains. Building strong systems, empowering teams, and fostering a culture of trust and excellence will be central to my approach.
  • I look forward to working closely with faculty, students, industry partners, policymakers, and the larger academic ecosystem to create a campus that stands for academic rigor, innovation, integrity, and societal relevance—and one that contributes meaningfully to the region and beyond.
