I am currently a PhD student in Public Policy at Northeastern University studying Development Economics and Public Policy. I am interested in topics related to Development, Behavioral Economy and Labor Economics.

Previously, I worked as a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, where I collaborated with NITI Aayog and the Ministry of Finance, Government of India, on projects related to subsidies and the digitization of archival budget documents.
I have also worked at Development Data Lab, where I contributed to an open-source database tracking Indian parliamentary representation. In addition, I taught Statistics and Microeconomics to high school students in Delhi Government Schools.

I have Master’s in Computational Social Science, Northeastern University, Applied Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University and Bachelor’s in Economics from Banaras Hindu University.

While marginalized communities have been widely studied, I seek to bring both analytical rigor and lived perspective to questions of inequality and development – ensuring that voices of underrepresented groups are meaningfully reflected in economic research and policy design.
I am part of Bahujan Economists, a platform dedicated to supporting researchers, students, aspirants, and professors from historically marginalized caste, tribal, & religious communities in the field of Economics. You can follow our work at: @BahujanEcon.

I am proficient in the use of Stata, R and Python (pandas, NumPy, statsmodels, scikit-learn, web scraping) for empirical analysis and data management.
