Those who know him say that he has always stood against evil since childhood. Not only this, whenever he is transferred, he leaves his own mark in the place he leaves behind.

His first posting was in Solapur, Maharashtra.

He has worked in 19 different places in the last 16 years in Maharashtra. He was in Solapur during his first posting in August 2005 as a Trainee Sub-Collector. But due to his style of working, he was replaced after two years, in 2007. Ever since then, this became a routine affair. 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 November 2014, he became the District Magistrate of Solapur. In May 2016, he became the Commissioner of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation. In March 2017, he became the Chief Executive Officer of PMPL, Pune. In February 2018, he was made commissioner in Nashik Municipal Corporation. In November 2018, he was made the co-secretary of the Planning department. He took the responsibility of Project Officer of Mumbai AIDS Control in December 2018. 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.
