I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economic Sciences at IIT Kanpur. My research interests include macroeconomics, financial economics, and international finance, with a focus on emerging markets and applied econometrics. Lately, I have been working on issues in emerging market finance, climate finance, and fintech.
I received a PhD from Delhi University and later pursued a post-doctoral fellowship at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where I was also a Visiting Fellow. Before joining IIT Kanpur, I taught at the Vinod Gupta School of Management, IIT Kharagpur, and prior to my academic career, I worked in the industry for about three years. Earlier, I did a master’s degree in Economics from the University of Hyderabad and a bachelor’s degree in Economics (Honours) from Aligarh Muslim University.
