About Me

On completing my M.Sc. in Organic chemistry  from Jodhpur University (now JNV University , Jodhpur), I worked with Piramal Organic Chemicals as Research Officer for Organic Chemical Product development from 1978 to 1981. 

I joined ACC Ltd, India  in April 1981 in Organic Chemical product development division. In 1983, I transitioned into Cement R&D Division as a Technical assistant. During this time I was actively involved with Consultancy assignments for the Research & Consultancy Directorate .of  ACC Ltd.

In 2005 , I took over the responsibility as Vice president R & D (Quality & Product Development Division)  subsequently designated as Director of Quality and Product Development. Finally after 37 years at  ACC and with a 3 and ½  years of extension, I retired in October  2018.

Over the years I have gained a lot of insight into Cement Manufacturing and Cements/Cementitious products while having worked on many innovative concepts. I believe now is the right time for me to share my experiences in the cement industry across the world, I hope that my knowledge and experience does not go with me but gets shared, implemented and used in a manner that the Cement Plants gain from it and the Cement reaching the customers is of much improved performance and my colleagues in the plants get a good insight technically.
