He has also been a guest faculty member at quite a few well-known management institutions in and around Hyderabad. Being a multi-tasker, he has also been involved in several sponsored research projects on behalf of IIHFW. He has particularly developed a lot of interest in research leading to training.

A major highlight of his 17-year public health academia experience is a year-long sabbatical stint as a "Reform Facilitator" with the European Commission (EC) and DFID run Policy and Strategic Planning Unit (PSPU) at Bhubaneshwar wherein he contributed to the formulation of an unique state health sector reforms action plan in Orissa. He secured overseas exposure to globally benchmarked training and teaching practices through his EU-sponsored stint in the form of a faculty exchange visit to the London School of Economics (LSE), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Leads University during February 2004.

His consultancy portfolio is distinguished by a medium-term assignment supported by DFID and EC for Orissa Government, a Macarthur Foundation supported evaluation exercise and a Ford Foundation supported evaluation initiative for Academy of Nursing Studies (ANS).
