After teaching graduate level physics in Annada College, Vinoba Bhabe University in Jharkhand, India for more than two decades, he is now offering interdisciplinary courses in Nālandā University, Rajgir, Bihar. During the last two decades he had also been engaged to figure out some 'meaningful' overlap between foundational issues in Physics and Philosophy in its Eastern and Western variants. His attempts to understand philosophy of science in the Indian context started much earlier while he was doing his Masters in pure physics in M. S. University of Baroda during 1989-91. After completing Masters, he started visiting the traditional Indian philosophers located in West Bengal and outside to get their response to some of the modern philosophical issues.

In fact, getting back to Indian Philosophy for him is basically a self-ethnographic process to define points of entry into the knowledge store of his own Tradition - engaging himself in the dynamic process of interplay with the Past which he is a part of!

Eventually during 2005, he was invited by Navanalanda Mahavihara, Nalanda - a deemed University under the Ministry of Culture, to organise a meeting, where scientists would try to open Dialogue with the Buddhist monk philosophers commemorating the Vada-parampara (Dialogue) in ancient Nālandā Mahavihara. Indeed much of the Indian philosophical tradition is an outcome of Dialogue between different rival schools .The first Dialogue in Navanalanda was devoted to the concept of Śūnya in Madhyamik Buddhism - one of the most enigmatic Indian versions of Nothingness. This was the beginning of a long journey which finally took shape as the Nālandā Dialog Mission.

Subsequently he pioneered Science Philosophy Dialogues and workshops of different orders almost all over India in places of traditional interest like Varanasi, Mithila, Tirupati , Navdeep as well as in Bangalore, Delhi , Jodhpur , Kolkata... He has done his Ph.D in the logical aspects of the infamous quantum measurement problem.

He was offered an adjunct professorship in Centre for Foundation Studies, Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research, Bangalore in 2017 and was invited to join the editorial board of the journal Quanta in 2016 devoted to foundational research.

After the inaugural Dialogue on Śūnyatā, Navanalanda Mahavihara continued to provide space for systematic annual Dialogues up to 2019. Mahāvihāra published four Volumes of Nālandā Dialogue Series in 2023 based on the 13 Dialogues from 2005 to 2019. First two of these volumes are under his editorial supervision.

Other than opening Dialogues of different orders, Nalanda Dialogue mission is also aimed to develop a History and Philosophy of Science community in India as there are practically no community of researchers in India devoted to the systematic study of History and Philosophy of Science.

However , the last few years of intense Nālandā Dialogues have brought him closer to recognize the question of Individuation and Identity as almost central to the whole nexus of foundational concerns which seem to ensure the largest non-trivial overlap of Philosophy ( both in its Indian and Western variants ) with modern foundational debate in quantum mechanics.

With these lessons of more than two decades of science philosophy Dialogues in view , he is recently focused, as one extreme of this non-trivial overlap , to make further sense of some logico-philosophical aspects of IDENTITY which seems to unveil severe limitations of the language of standard logic and set theory in question of talking about the quantum mechanical domain.

Other than English, he has extensively written and edited Books and articles in Bengali mostly on colonial issues of knowledge synthesis in India as well as history of Indian colonial response to newly arrived western science in Bengal during the 19th century, its aftermath and the overall impact on our pedagogical policy till date.
