Kanchan Pande, born on 14 March 1958 in the Indian state of [[Uttaranchal]], completed his master's degree in geology at [[Kumaun University]] in 1981 and secured PhD in Geochronology and Isotope geology from [[Gujarat University]] in 1990.<ref name="Faculty profile - Academics">{{Cite web |url=http://www.geos.iitb.ac.in/index.php/en/kp-academics |title=Faculty profile - Academics |date=2016 |publisher=Department of Earth Sciences - IIT Mumbai}}</ref> His career started at [[Physical Research Laboratory]] in 1990 as a scientist (Grade D) and he held the position of an associate professor from 1998 to 2002 before becoming a professor in 2003. However, his service as a professor at PRL lasted only 5 months and in June 2003, he moved to the [[Indian Institute of Technology Mumbai]] as a professor at the department of earth sciences and retired from the post in March 2023.<ref name="Faculty profile - Career">{{Cite web |url=http://www.geos.iitb.ac.in/index.php/en/kp-positions |title=Faculty profile - Career |date=2016 |publisher=Department of Earth Sciences - IIT Mumbai}}</ref>
