Life and Career
Born to Prof. Joseph Thomas & Gracy Joseph as second of their 3 sons at Kanakkari Village of Kottayam District Kerala State in South India on 21st of April 1979. My schooling has stretched to 3 premier schools, beginning with Aphonsa School, Ratnagri to St Gregorios School, Mannarrkunnu to the Emmanuals High School, Kothenalloor. Competed Pre-degree and Graduation (B.Sc Zoology) form one of the oldest Colleges in India – CMS College, Kottayam.
The CMS College is the first college in Kottayam, Kerala, India. It was started by the Church Missionary Society, England, in 1817 when no institution existed in the then-Travancore state to teach English. The Rev. Benjamin Bailey was the first principal of The College, COTTYM, as it was then called and spelt. The government welcomed the College as "a place of general education whence any demands of the state for officers to fill all departments of public service would be met".
I had a great OH.. while joining the CMS college… and was the sweatiest time in my life.. a great college.. great people.. great faculty… and indeed the finest friends I ever had…LOVE IT (Visit the College official web site @ http://202.164.149.14/cms/ )
After Graduation, joined the famous king Nandiwarman College of Science & Technology, Tellar in Tamil Nadu for M.Sc Microbiology. To my fortune and/or misfortune, I had to discontinue the course and joined School of Medical Education under Mahatma Gandhi University for Master of Science in Medical Documentation. The University campus is located at the Priyadarsini Hills which is 13 Kilometers away from Kottayam Railway Station and 4 Kilometers away from Ettumannoor.

It will be reprehensible, if I forget the support and care extended to me by Dr. Ashish Banerji, the ex COO of Alchemist Hospitals Limited, during his very short but remarkable tenure @ Alchemist.
He is one of the finest souls I have ever met in my life, the motivation and inspiration he extended not only to me but also to the entire AHL family was unparalleled.
