🔧 Marine Engineer | Sustainability Strategist | Lubrication Services Leader (APAC & Middle East)

📍 Chartered Engineer | PhD Researcher | Member of RINA, IMarEST, SNAME

With over a decade of experience spanning shipboard engineering, marine research, and global technical leadership, I specialize in bridging deep technical insight with strategic innovation. Currently heading Lubrication Services across APAC and the Middle East at The Viswa Group, I lead cross-functional teams driving sustainability, digital transformation, and client-centric solutions in marine lubrication and emissions control.

My academic journey—from a First Class B Tech and M Tech in Marine Engineering to ongoing PhD research in Ship Technology at CUSAT—has been anchored in advancing green shipbuilding, delay-time maintenance modeling, and safety systems. I’ve published in international journals, presented at national seminars, and contributed to cutting-edge R&D in scrubber systems and fuel diagnostics.

Whether collaborating with shipyards, leading robotisation initiatives, or optimizing lubricant analysis protocols, I bring a systems-thinking approach rooted in engineering rigor and global maritime context.
