Member, NITI Aayog

Educational Qualification

PhD in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur.

Past Service

3rd October, 2023 to 18th May, 2026 (FN) - Secretary, Department of Science & Technology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India;
April 2018 to 2nd October, 2023 - Director, IIT Kanpur; and

Significant Achievements

As Secretary, DST, I was instrumental in operationalizing many transformative initiatives of the Government of India. This includes National Quantum Mission and Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF). He also operationalized Rs.1 Lakh Crore Research, Development and Innovation Fund for supporting cutting-edge R&D in private sectors and deep tech startups. During the tenure, several R&D programs and initiatives were launched in clean energy, green hydrogen, advanced materials, geospatial technologies, manufacturing, R&D infrastructure, technology incubation and international bilateral R&D programs.
My own research group has made some significant contributions towards AI driven Programmable Protocols for 6G. My earlier research has profound impact on starting the activities of two global IEEE standards in 5G. "IEEE 1930.1: SDN based Middleware for Control and Management of Networks" is the first IEEE standard coming out of Indian efforts led by me. The most notable impact of my research has been in the area of affordable broadband access which led to the formation of “Frugal 5G” working group in IEEE standards and another global standard- "IEEE 2061: Architecture for Low Mobility Energy Efficient Network for Affordable Broadband” under "IEEE's Standards Activities for 5G".
