He was responsible for successful design and construction of several river dams, bridges and implementing irrigation and drinking water schemes all over India.

Among his most successful projects are the design and construction of the K.R. Sagar dam(Mysore) and its adjoining Brindavan Gardens, turn-around of the Bhadravati Iron and Steel Works, setting up of the Mysore Sandalwood Oil Factory and the founding of the Bank of Mysore.
