He received his Ph.D. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2008. His Ph.D. thesis, entitled “Inequalities and Geometry of Hyperbolic-type Metrics, Radius Problems, and Norm Estimates,” was completed under the supervision of Professor S. Ponnusamy at IIT Madras. In 2008, the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy, awarded him the NBHM Post-doctoral Fellowship. Using this fellowship, he pursued his post-doctoral research at IIT Madras before joining IIT Indore as an Assistant Professor in September 2010.

After joining IIT Indore, he has participated in and delivered a series of invited talks at several scientific events held in India, Japan, China, the United States, Ukraine, and Russia.
His main research area is Geometric Function Theory, and his current research interests include Univalent Function Theory, Special Functions, Hyperbolic-type Metrics, and Quasiconformal Mappings. He has been collaborating with researchers from India, Japan, China, the United States, and Finland.
He has supervised six Ph.D. scholars and two M.Sc. students, and is currently supervising four more Ph.D. scholars.
At present, he is working as a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at IIT Indore. He served as Head of the Department of Mathematics from June 20, 2012, to September 24, 2015, and as Head of the School of Basic Sciences from April 3, 2015, to May 22, 2018.
