I am a faculty member in the Operations and Decision Sciences Area at IIM Ahmedabad. My research and teaching are aligned with the theory and applications of Data Science. I obtained my Bachelor of Statistics (Honours) and Master of Statistics degrees from the Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata, after which I worked in the industry for eight years. My industry experience has been in Re-insurance and Commercial Finance, leading various analytical initiatives for risk management, capital allocation and pricing. After my stint in the industry, I decided to switch to a career in academics. I obtained  a doctoral degree from IIM Bangalore and subsequently joined IIM Ahmedabad as a faculty member.
