The University of Western Australia India Faculty Details

The faculty and academic ecosystem at The University of Western Australia (UWA) India’s Mumbai campus (located in Andheri East) are built on a cross-border model that pairs locally appointed, tenurable professors with direct academic governance and visiting expertise from UWA’s main campus in Perth.

Having inaugurated academic operations in September 2026, the Mumbai campus delivers courses through departments aligned directly with UWA’s flagship Australian schools.

1. Academic & Campus Leadership

  • Prof. Rajaraman Eri (Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor, UWA India): Serves as the senior academic head overseeing academic delivery, research collaborations, and student immersion across the Indian campuses.

  • Parent University Governance: Curriculum design, unit approvals, and degree standards are overseen by UWA Perth’s executive leadership—including Prof. Amit Chakma (Vice-Chancellor) and Prof. Jennifer Howell (Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Global Engagement)—maintaining full parity with Australian quality frameworks.

  • Mumbai & India Operations Leadership: Supported on the ground by Mr. David Das (Chief Operating Officer) alongside UWA India Directors Ms. Charuta Pramod Bhatt and Mr. Bhupesh Chhajer, who manage campus operations and industry engagement.

2. Departmental Faculty & Structure

Permanent academic staff at the Mumbai campus hold full-time, tenurable appointments at the Assistant Professor and Senior Assistant Professor ranks across two primary academic pillars:

  • Department of Computer Science: Led by Dr. Arpita Gupta (Head of Department) and Dr. Sashikala Mishra (Deputy Head of Department), with faculty covering Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cybersecurity, and Statistics.

  • Department of Business (aligned with UWA Business School): Supported by Dr. Akanksha Jaiswal (Deputy Head of Department) and business academics delivering undergraduate and MBA units across Management, Global Business, Enterprise & Innovation, Finance, Accounting, Economics, and Supply Chain Management.

  • Two-Campus Collaborative Model: Mumbai faculty operate within a connected Australia–India academic network, collaborating with Perth-based scholars, co-supervising Honours and Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students, and integrating visiting Australian professors and industry practitioners into teaching.
