Professional Experience:

My professional experience as a Research Assistant at the United Service Institution of India-Centre for Military History and Conflict Studies (USI-CMHCS) included undertaking research on Pre-Independence and Post-Independence wars of the Indian Armed Forces, organising commemorative events and activities, including international conferences and seminars. I carried out liaison for the Centre with all its working partners and presented project plans to existing and potential stakeholders, which included national and international governmental agencies. I led a lot of the projects that the Centre was assigned to carry out and also assisted them in managing project resources and databases. In addition, I conducted an annual skills development course that aimed to provide Service officers in India, a unique opportunity to understand the dynamics of running a military museum. I also contributed to the day-to-day activities of the Centre, like managing social media platforms, overseeing research projects, engaging with scholars and assisting with book publications.
