I am a Wildlife Health Professional with a strong interest in applying interdisciplinary tools to advance conservation medicine. I have led, and continue to lead, the veterinary component of the Reintroduction of Cheetah to India project as the Nodal Veterinary Officer for the National Tiger Conservation Authority. I have also contributed to numerous ecological and conservation initiatives of the Wildlife Institute of India, primarily by providing veterinary expertise for wildlife capture, immobilization, and telemetry operations.
I have previously held senior scientific and veterinary positions with the Wildlife Institute of India and Virginia Tech, USA, where my work encompassed wildlife capture and restraint, population management, immunocontraception research, rescue and rehabilitation, and capacity building through teaching and training programmes in India and Southern Africa. My professional interests lie in integrating wildlife health, conservation management, and One Health approaches to support evidence-based conservation outcomes.
