About
I come from a background in entrepreneurship, academia, and research. My work experience spans over three decades. I was awarded a Ph.D. in Computer Science from IIT Madras, in 2006. Before that, I was an academician for a decade. Soon after the doctoral program, I went on to work with the industry and was a part of several well-known research labs including Infosys Labs and 24/7 iLabs. I founded a start-up Vismaya Social Innovations which worked on empowering local businesses. I assumed an academic position in 2021 as an Associate Professor and Director Of the School of CSIT at Symbiosis University, Indore. Currently, I am working as a Professor at PES University, Bengaluru. Here’s a link to my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sujatha-r-upadhyaya-aaa9649/
