==Education==
Sharma obtained Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (1958) from [[Institute of Chemical Technology|UDCT]] and subsequently MSc (Tech) in 1960. He obtained PhD (Chemical Engineering) (1964) at [[Cambridge University]] with [[Peter Danckwerts]]. In 1964, he returned to India as Professor at the University of Bombay, and later became Director of the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT) (now the [[Institute of Chemical Technology]]).<ref name="BT_samant">{{cite journal |last1=Samant |first1=S.

==Academic career==
Sharma made contributions to chemical engineering science and technology. His studies on Bronsted based catalysis in CO2 hydration (published in the Transactions of Faraday Society) and subsequently kinetics of COS absorption in aqueous amines and alkanolamines brought out linear free energy relationship between CO2 and COS absorption in solutions of amines and alkanolamines. He has contributed extensively on the role of microphases in multiple reactions which he pioneered. He also became an independent Editor of Chemical Engineering Science at a young age. He taught different subjects in chemical engineering and encouraged his doctoral students, from the very beginning, to publish independently their work in renowned journals.

Under his stewardship, UDCT was granted autonomy by the [[University Grants Commission (India)|UGC]] and the Institute increased the number of PhD graduates.<ref name="ICT_profile"/>

==Awards==
