He has been Deputy District Magistrate, in Deglur subdivision, CEO of Nagpur Zilla Parishad, Commissioner of Tribal Department, CEO of Washim, CEO of Kalyan, District Magistrate of Jalna, Assistant Commissioner of Sales Tax in Mumbai.

In January 2020, he became the commissioner of Nagpur Municipal Corporation. In August 2020, he took over as Member Secretary in Maharashtra Life Authority, Mumbai. He went to the National Human Rights Commission in January 2021.
