Currently serving as the Joint Advisor at the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Das has been appointed as the Director at the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions.
This new appointment is a lateral shift and carries the responsibility of overseeing key functions at the UPSC, with a tenure that extends until May 10, 2027.

His expertise in governance and administrative affairs is anticipated to complement the UPSC’s role in maintaining transparency and efficiency in civil service recruitment.
