Ultimately, revitalizing the strength of science and technology is essential in achieving the self-reliant and strong India. In the era of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, combining our traditional wisdom with modern science appear to be indispensable in the sectors such as Education, Health, Agriculture, Industrial and Societal development at large. Prior to joining as the Director, he headed the Molecular Modelling Division at the CSIR [[Indian Institute of Chemical Technology]] in [[Hyderabad, India]]. Sastry has made pioneering contributions in the areas of [[computational chemistry]] and [[computational biology]].

He was awarded [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]] in 2011, the highest science award in India, in the chemical sciences category.<ref>"11 scientists selected for Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award" ibn live, Sep 26,2011 [https://web.archive.org/web/20110929193539/http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/11-scientists-selected-for-shanti-swarup-bhatnagar-award/836081.html]</ref>

==Early life and education==
G. N. Sastry completed his BSc (1985) and MSc (1988) from [[Osmania University]]. He earned his PhD from [[University of Hyderabad]] in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. [[E. D. Jemmis]] in 1995. Subsequently, he moved to Israel to carry out his first postdoctoral studies (1994 – 1996) with Prof. Sason Shaik in [[Hebrew University]] where he majorly focused on valance bond modelling and electronic transfer reactions. In 1996, he moved to Switzerland and did his second postdoctoral studies with Prof. Thomas Bally in University of Fibourg, Switzerland. In Switzerland he worked in Molecular modelling and theoretical and physical organic chemistry.

==Career==
After two postdoctoral stints, he moved to India and he has served as Assistant Professor in [[Pondicherry University]] for five years (1997 – 2002). There majorly focused on Molecular modelling and theoretical and physical organic chemistry. In 2002 he moved to CSIR – [[Indian Institute of Chemical Technology]], Hyderabad where he served for almost two decades and made fundamental contributions in supramolecular chemistry which itself is a highly interdisciplinary areas. On 19 February 2019, he took charge as a Director in CSIR – [[North East Institute of Science and Technology, Jorhat]], Assam and served their till 10 January 2024. He is currently a [[Professor]] in the [[Department of Biotechnology]] and a core faculty member of the [[Computational Engineering]] program at [[Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad|IIT Hyderabad]]. He also serves as the [[Dean (education)|Dean]] (Sponsored Research and Consultancy).

==Scientific contributions==
Sastry leads a highly interdisciplinary research group with expertise spanning chemistry, biology, materials science, and computer science. He has authored over 300 research papers, which have received approximately 11,000 citations, resulting in an h-index of 52. His work includes significant contributions to the study of noncovalent interactions,<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/cr500344e | doi=10.1021/cr500344e | title=Cooperativity in Noncovalent Interactions | year=2016 | last1=Mahadevi | first1=A.
