Most of this experience was garnered during his stint with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Other employers have included Frost & Sullivan Inc. in the United States.

Tony’s lifelong passion for teaching has taken him to several renowned educational institutions in India, UK, U.S. and Canada. Tony has taught teaches Economics and Mathematics-related subjects at several other colleges/universities, including University Canada West, City University of Seattle (Vancouver Campus), ICFAI Business School (India), Yorkville University, and Corpus Christi College.

Tony's academic interests are primarily in Mathematical Economics, Statistics, and Econometrics. He is currently working on developing a robust structural/semi-structural framework for the econometric modelling of inflation in a high-dimensional framework. His core teaching philosophy rests on imparting basic concepts to students in the most lucid manner. In conjunction with a colleague at another institution, he is also engaged in using a SVAR-based econometric model to analyze the impact of import tariffs on the demand for crops such as soybean and canola, an issue particularly relevant for the Canadian economy in the present context of tariff wars.
