Staff
TERI has over 900 employees drawn from diverse disciplines and highly specialized fields such as engineering, economics, natural and social science, biotechnology, architecture, public policy, information science and administration.
Grouping of the staff into Areas and broad-based divisions is TERI's way of encouraging exchange of ideas and information across subject boundaries and forming interdisciplinary linkages.
Each Areas activities are coordinated by an Area Convenor, areas with similar focus and activities are grouped into divisions and each Division is headed by a Director/ Associate Director.
