Deeply humbled to be elected Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi.
My gratitude to my mentors, colleagues & students at CSIR-CCMB, my collaborators in the conservation community, and my family — this recognition is truly shared.
Grateful, and back to work!.

If forests could speak, Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu would tell one of India’s greatest conservation stories. Most people do not fully appreciate the true value of protected areas. We must know the value of sheer abundance of life they sustain. Anamalai Tiger Reserve is India's 28th Tiger Reserve spread in nearly 1,480 sq. km. It shelters an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including 88 species of mammals, 320 species of birds, 157 species of reptiles, 112 species of amphibians and 146 species of orchids. It is also home to some of the Western Ghats’ most iconic endemic species, including the Nilgiri Tahr, Nilgiri Marten, Nilgiri Langur and Malabar Giant Squirrel, as well as stunning birds such as the Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Palani Laughing Thrush, Malabar Starling, Legge's Hawk Eagle & Great Hornbills. This shows what long-term protection can achieve and why expanding and strengthening our network of protected areas should be the most important priority for sustaining all life.

@sijwali_puran's lab has discovered a protein called VMP1, and showed that it is essential for the formation and function of the secretory organelles. It is necessary for lipid mobilization across membranes, which is a key requirement for membrane function and communication.

They found that the risk of cyanobacterial blooms is heightened under low nitrogen-to-phosphorus conditions, with toxin-producing genera becoming more prevalent. They also identified new possible ways that cyanobacteria fix carbon. Details here: doi.org/10.1016/j.envadv.202…

Another publication based on eDNA from our lab!
@gupathy's group offers valuable insights for environmental monitoring, conservation planning, and climate change adaptation strategies in vulnerable aquatic systems like Chilika Lagoon, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, in their new study. This is how:

Health is not built in a day. It is shaped by the choices we make every day.
This World Health Day, let us move from treatment to prevention.
At Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre, we focus on early detection, patient education, and care backed by science to help people live healthier and longer lives.
Because a healthier tomorrow begins with the decisions we make today.

@airtelindia @TRAI @DoT_India Network issue still unresolved at Janapriya Utopia, Attapur (Hyderabad). Ref: CLCNF3BLR20260108931943. Poor indoor signal, call drops, no data. Airtel claims “no issue” without field check. Months of complaints, no fix.

I'm looking forward to young researchers joining this!
It's time to understand the biogeography, ecology and conservation priorities of the Eastern Ghats of India. Our upcoming workshop and symposium in Feb 2026 will aim for exactly this with researchers, conservationists and government bodies together.
