[[File:CSIR IICT Hyderabad.jpg|thumb|235px|Indian Institute of Chemical Technology]]<br />
B. M. Choudary, born on 10 August 1946 in the south Indian state of [[Andhra Pradesh]], graduated in chemistry from [[Andhra University]] and completed his master's degree at [[Vikram University]].<ref name="Indian fellow" /> His career started as a junior lecturer in chemistry at [[Kakatiya Medical College]] in 1970 and after three years, he joined [[Indian Institute of Chemical Technology]] (IICT) as a junior research fellow where he spent the rest of his academic career to retire as a senior scientist. In between, he secured a PhD from [[Gujarat University]] in 1980 for his thesis on ''Catalysis in Organic Chemistry''.<ref name="Indian fellow" /> After retirement, he founded Ogene Systems in 2005 where he serves as the managing director.<ref name="Board of Directors">{{Cite web |url=http://ogene.co.in/management.html |title=Board of Directors |date=2016 |publisher=Ogene Systems |access-date=24 November 2016 |archive-date=11 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161211163740/http://ogene.co.in/management.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
