Biosketch
I did my graduation in Electronics Engineering from IIT Dhanbad (ISM). After a brief stint as a software engineer at Samsung, I shifted my area of study to Philosophy. I did my PG and PhD from University of Hyderabad. My primary area of research is Philosophy of Language. My PhD thesis dealt with philosophical questions related to non-literal communication and was based on Indian philosophical and poetological works. I have been teaching courses in introductory philosophy, Indian Philosophy, Logic, Critical Thinking and Indian Knowledge Traditions since 2016. I am also keen on developing new ways (particularly examples) of teaching Philosophy to students, especially those students who do not have a background in Philosophy.
