Plaksha University, Mohali, India
Welcome!
I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Data Science, Economics, and Business (DSEB) at Plaksha University.
I completed my PhD in the Economics area at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM A) in 2026. My research focuses on applied microeconomics, with particular interests in organizational economics, education, labor and sports. My doctoral work has been recognized with the Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) Award for the Best Thesis Proposal and the Chaudhary-Padmanabhan-Pant Award for securing the top rank in PhD coursework.
Before my doctoral studies, I completed my MBA (PGP) from IIM Ahmedabad in 2019 and worked briefly as a consultant with the Deals Advisory team at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
