This project aimed to develop a comprehensive system for managing competitive intelligence within a
pharmaceutical organization.
The focus was on creating a Taxonomy Builder that organizes and normalizes competitive intelligence
data, information, and knowledge using strategic frameworks. This taxonomy facilitates effective data
management and retrieval, ensuring consistency and clarity across the system.
In parallel, the project addressed Contract Management by implementing a system to automate and
streamline the creation, execution, and monitoring of contracts related to competitive intelligence
activities.
This included automating routine tasks such as contract generation, integrating these processes with the
Taxonomy Builder.
I'm naturally curious and always eager to learn new things, whether it's a new craft technique or a complex technology. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and believe in making every experience a chance to grow, laugh, and discover something new.
What Keeps Me Going:
Calligraphy (expressing my penmanship) and brush painting (expressing myself)
are my main hobbies, but I’m equally obsessed with cooking and all things culinary (expressing my palate).
I’m passionate about using computers as a new medium of communication and constantly exploring their endless
possibilities. I've conducted sessions on the internet and its uses, calligraphy, and basic photography for
students and senior citizens.
I speak English, Hindi, Marathi, Tulu, and Kannada (although my Kannada is a bit rusty). Currently, Learning to
read & write in Kannada. I've also dabbled a bit in
Tamil, Nepalese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish, but those languages have been gathering dust for the past
fifteen
years.
Family:
My family includes my late father, Prof. D.K. Kunder, who was the principal and secretary of several educational
institutions in Chembur (Mumbai) and Kinnigoli (Mangalore). I like to think my modesty comes from him. My
mother, Meenakshi, is a housewife with a green thumb; she helps me with most of the gardening around
our home in Kinnigoli. I also owe my love for cooking to her – she’s the reason I can whip up a mean curry!
Self Appraisal:
I’m a passionate explorer of knowledge and a dedicated mentor who thrives on sharing what I’ve learned with
others. My love for trying out new things and tackling challenges keeps me excited and engaged in my work. I
approach every project with enthusiasm, always ready to dive into the next adventure, because, as they say,
“Memento Mori”—we only get so many chances to make an impact, so why not enjoy the ride and pass on what we
know? After all, if knowledge is power, then sharing it is pure joy!
