About Mr. Mahesh Tripathi

I am a quick learner, who always tries to adapt and apply new concepts and ideas in subject related matters. A work oriented individual who enjoys being engaged in activities which leads to value addition to my skill set. My ability to adjudge a person, develop a common connection on a core level and comprehension of human emotions pulled me towards the field of psychology. I have always been fascinated by the diversity and subjectivity with which a human psyche operates. The strong and deep rooted cultural values, an accommodating attitude, comprehensive knowledge of my subject and ability to find the rationality behind the emotions helps me to understand the psychology of any individual in a better and constructive manner.

My goal is to take psychology as a subject to masses and use it as a tool to generate more self-aware and self-actualized individuals which will in turn prove to be an asset to our nation. I aspire to apply psychological concepts and create practical approaches which can be utilized to address the current and upcoming challenges in the National Security and Criminal Justice System of our nation.
