Professor Prem Shankar sat at his desk, staring at a blank document on the computer. He couldn't believe he was resigning after three years of teaching at a college under Kerala University, in Thiruvananthapuram.
He had joined the college with the express purpose of establishing a research career in data science.

But he felt the college placed little value on research or the benefits it provided to its students. He decided to quit his job.
