Bhaskar Bagchi retired in 2019 from the Indian Statistical Institute. Post-retirement, he has been pursuing his interest in design theory with renewed vigour. His current project brings an idea of Professor Shrikhande to its logical conclusion. (Shrikhande published it in the year in which this author was busy being born!)
