Amarnath Bose

Professor

Biosketch

Professor of Decision Sciences in the Operations and Decision Science area at Birla Institute of Management Technology. Joined BIMTECH in June 2009 as an Associate Professor in the Operations Area. I teach papers in Quantitative techniques, including Business Statistics, Research Methodology and Predictive Business Analytics.

Prior to joining academia in 2009, I have worked for 27 years in the Information Technology sector where I have worked with several Indian IT majors. My experience is in end-to-end IT project management for big international clients, and have been involved in Account Management, Project Management, Software Architecture, Quality Assurance, Feasibility Studies and Critical Information Systems Planning. I have brought many critical projects to successful conclusion. I have a conducted requirements analysis for several projects, and designed and implemented appropriate solutions.
