Work experience

Oxford University Press

May, 2013 — Nov, 2020 (over 7 years)

I managed a team of four editors. My responsibilities comprised recruiting, training, planning my team members’ schedules and quality-checking their work. Author management has been an important part of my job, and I have grasped it well over the years. As an editor, I handled books on various subjects (politics, sociology, law, history, and translation), and I have worked with several reputed authors.

Some of the important titles I edited are given below:

'Private International Law' by V.C. Govindaraj

'Cultural Labour' by Brahma Prakash

'Beyond Hybridity and Fundamentalism' by Ruhi Khan

'Basanti', a collaborative novel in Odia translated into English by Himansu Mohapatra and Paul St. Pierre

'Tribals and Dalits in Orissa' by Biswamoy Pati

SAGE Publications

Jan, 2009 — May, 2013 (over 4 years)

I oversaw the production of ten social science and economics journals of national and international repute.
