Vishwesh is Senior Lecturer in the Information Technology & Operations Management area at Goa Institute of Management. He is currently pursuing doctoral degree from SJMSOM, IIT Bombay. His research involves analytical and simulation modelling of multi-aisle automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). His research is published in reputed international journals.

Prior to enrolling for the full-time PhD program in 2016, Vishwesh worked industry for over 7 years. He started his career in 2006 as a software engineer with Geometric Ltd. (now part of HCL Technologies). He later obtained a PGDM from Goa Institute of Management and thereafter worked with Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd. (ZACL), Goa from 2011 to 2016. At ZACL he handled various responsibilities in import and distribution of fertilizers, contract management, and procurement of direct and indirect materials.
