Following his retirement, he served as the Vikram Sarabhai Distinguished Professor at ISRO Headquarters for five years. Additionally, he was a professor at IIT Mumbai and MIT Manipal for three years. He was a member of the Board of Governors at IIT Madras for seven years, until July 2018, and later became vice chair for the Design Division of the Aeronautical Society of India. He contributed as an associate editor of the book From Fishing Hamlet To Red Planet and co-authored Ever Upwards: ISRO in Images, both of which document the history of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Suresh is president of the Jnanadeepa Senior Secondary School and the Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Education in Shivamogga, Karnataka.^[6]
