I was born in Mannarkoil village in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, India. After having my early education in St.Xavier's High school and college Tirunelveli, I worked with the Union Bank of India for a few years.Resigning from the bank I joined the doctoral programme at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA). I worked at IIMA for a few years before moving to Canada. In Canada I joined the University of New Brunswick (UNB)Fredericton Business Faculty , where I served over three decades as a Professor of Finance. Currently I am leading a retired life in Missisauga Ontario with my wife and life partner Kalyani.
Recently Literary Titan has chosen me as an award winning author for my book Musings of Mannarkoil Professor
