She has an MS in Information Systems from State University of New York and was a former faculty member of Computer Science at Amrita University. She has been a visiting faculty to University of L'Aquila Italy and has been part of several Women in Computing forums.

Named after the daughter of great Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya (Lilavati is a text of Indian Mathematics in which the author poses mathematical problems to his 9 year old daughter Lilavati), Lilavati Gurukulam of Computing is a step towards blending Bharatiya samskaras with 21st century computing skills. Announced in January 2022, the Gurukulam aims at creating a learning space where technology and values can come together for societal well-being.

A key aspect of the Gurukulam is to provide skills that can be useful in integrating computation with Indian Knowledge Systems. Areas like Ayurveda and AI, Yoga,-Neuroscience-Machine Learning, Sanskrit-Natural Language Processing and Ganitha-Combinatorics-Computational Thinking provide exciting possibilities.
