I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) in the Area of Social Sciences. 

I completed my PhD in Economics from the University of New Mexico, USA in 2018. My dissertation looked at the socio-economic consequences of cancer in developing countries. I am an University Gold Medalist in both my Undergraduate and Post Graduate degrees in Economics.
