It has in its ambit Asian School of Business Management, Bhubaneswar; ASBM Institute of BBA, Bhubaneswar; ASBM Finishing School and ASBM Centre for Distance Education with student strength of more than twelve hundred within a span of seven years.  ASBM has emerged as one of the strongest national brands in management education.

He was a Professor in the area of Human Resource Management & Organizational Behaviour and Chair Person of HR Area in Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indore.
