After completing his MS in 2006, he started his teaching career in November 2006 as Assistant Professor of Anatomy at the Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences (India). He has been teaching anatomy and its subdisciplines (neurosciences, histology, embryology, radiological anatomy and functional anatomy) for more than 20 years and he has taught medical students in various institutions in India and abroad. He was Associate Professor at Xavier University School of Medicine (Aruba) from 2011 to 2012 and at Spartan University School of Medicine (Saint Lucia) from 2012-2013.
Before coming to the United States, he was faculty in College of Medicine and Health Sciences at the National University of Science and Technology (Oman) from 2013 to 2011. He was Course Director of Neurobiology (8 credit hour course), Human Structure (18 credit hour course) and Anatomy II (11 credit hour course).

He completed training in plastination techniques in December 2017 at the University of Murcia (Spain) under the aegis of International Plastination Society, in which he learned and did hands-on training to do solid organ plastination (S-10 method) and sheet plastination (P-40, E-12 method).

As part of his continuous endeavor to improve pedagogy and experiment with teaching methods, he successfully implemented Flipped Teaching and Team-Based Learning to study Clinical Anatomy of Brainstem.
