[7]
Ravichandran entered Kerala government service in 1996 at Kerala Public Service Commission, where he worked for ten years. In 2006, he joined the Department of Collegiate Education, under the University of Kerala, as an assistant professor of English, and worked at the Government College Munnar, Government College Nedumangad, University College Thiruvananthapuram (2007-2017), and at Women's College in Thiruvananthapuram, Since September 2020, he is working as an assistant English professor at the Government Polytechnic in Ezhukone, Kollam.
