I am a Textile Technologist, Auditor, and Academic Leader with over four decades of experience bridging industry, academia, and certification. My career spans senior leadership in multinational testing laboratories (Bureau Veritas, SGS, UL), technical compliance for global brands, and accredited auditing for NABCB and NABL.
With a Ph.D. from IIT Delhi, I specialize in ISO/IEC 17020, 17021-1, and 17025, as well as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and GOTS certification scopes. I have conducted technical, social, and environmental compliance audits across textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, and allied sectors in India and abroad.
I am passionate about improving product safety, quality systems, and sustainable practices in the textile value chain. Over the years, I have authored 5 internationally published books, 180+ peer-reviewed papers, and hold a joint patent in silk processing.
Internationally trained in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shenzhen, New York, and Amsterdam, I bring a global perspective to every project I take on — whether it’s auditing, quality assurance, research, or training.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate with organizations aiming to strengthen compliance, quality, and knowledge leadership in the textile and apparel industry.
