His diverse experiences and networks – evenly spread between the corporate sector and the government – give him a 360-degree view of public policy in theory, practice, and execution. Mr. Pathak is working closely with Dr. Shubhashis Gangopadhyay, Founding Dean of ISPP.

Mr. Pathak was with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) since 2017, during which he was CEO & Whole-Time Director of L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited (IDPL).
