DrBiswajit Acharjya

I am an academic and researcher with over 13 years of combined experience across higher education and industry. I currently serve as a Lecturer in Information Systems and Business Analytics at the School of Business and Law, Deakin University (GIFT City, India campus), where I contribute to teaching, research, and curriculum development with a focus on analytics-driven decision-making and business problem-solving.

Before joining Deakin, I held leadership and academic roles as Senior Assistant Professor and Area Head of Business Analytics at the Birla School of Management, Birla Global University, where I led programme development, supported curriculum design, and mentored faculty and students. I also served as an Assistant Professor in Business Analytics at the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, working closely with entrepreneurs and engaging in applied, practice-based learning and government-funded research projects.

I completed my PhD at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), with research focused on applying soft computing and intelligent techniques to understand market trends and investor behaviour. Alongside my academic career, I bring industry experience from the textile manufacturing sector, which informs my applied teaching approach and helps bridge theory with real-world business practice. I also hold an MBA in Finance and Marketing, supporting my interdisciplinary work at the intersection of technology, analytics, and management.

Overall, my work reflects a strong balance of teaching, research, leadership, and industry engagement, and I am committed to contributing to Deakin’s mission through high-quality education, impactful research, and the development of strong analytics capabilities for contemporary business challenges.
