Akhilesh Bonthu

I am a detail-oriented researcher with a deep commitment to understanding human societies, particularly the intersections of culture, health, technology and sustainability. My academic journey—spanning a PhD (ongoing) and an MA in Anthropology from the University of Hyderabad—has been marked by rigorous research, immersive fieldwork, and a passion for applied anthropology. 

With extensive experience in ethnographic research, I have worked on projects addressing mental health interventions for Scheduled Tribe communities, the educational challenges of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), and the healthcare practices of South Indian fishing communities. Proficient in ethnography, qualitative research, and analytical thinking, I seamlessly bridge research with action, translating insights into meaningful interventions. Anthropology, for me, is not just an academic pursuit—it is a lens through which I engage with the world, challenge assumptions, and contribute to social transformation.
