I am open to academic collaborations, consultancy engagements, and invited talks that align with my research interests in learning, optimization, and wireless systems. My preference is to work on problems that are intellectually meaningful, methodologically rigorous, and have potential for real-world impact.
The IIT Delhi standard terms and conditions for consultancy are here. However, a separate agreement may be worked out.
I occasionally undertake short-term consultancy assignments, particularly in areas related to:
online learning and decision-making,
stochastic systems and optimization,
wireless communication and networked systems.
Such engagements are typically structured on a weekly basis. As a general guideline, an honorarium in the range of ₹15,000–₹30,000 per week is customary, depending on the scope, duration, and nature of the work. For academic or not-for-profit collaborations, this may be adjusted where appropriate. You can find my current and past consultancy engagements in the funded projects/grants page.
To ensure that engagements are focused and productive, I generally prefer to use the initial discussion to clearly identify and agree upon the problem scope and expected outcomes. This helps avoid prolonged preliminary exchanges and allows the collaboration to move forward in a timely and well-defined manner.
I am also available to deliver invited lectures, tutorials, and short courses for academic institutions, research labs, and industry groups. These talks are usually tailored to the audience and may cover both foundational ideas and recent research directions.
A typical honorarium for invited speaking engagements is in the range of ₹5,000–₹10,000 per hour, depending on the format and preparation involved. Flexibility is maintained for student-oriented events, workshops, or academic initiatives with limited resources.
I view these engagements primarily as opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration. The honoraria mentioned above are intended as broad guidelines rather than fixed rates, and I am happy to discuss arrangements that are mutually appropriate.
