I am an Assistant Professor with the Economics Group at Azim Premji University, Bangalore. I am a labour economist, interested in development and gender. My research studies key economic decisions made during critical periods of transition in the life course. I am particularly interested in human capital investments for adolescents in resource-poor settings with a focus on girls. My current work in India examines youth aspirations for education and employment, the design of inclusive learning environments using digital platforms, and the effects of public menstrual hygiene programs on schooling outcomes for girls.
I got my PhD at the Department of Economics, Delhi School of Economics, India in 2022 and was a Stephan Klasen Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Göttingen for 2022-23.
I have held teaching positions in Economics at the University of Göttingen (Visiting Faculty) and Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi (Ad-Hoc).
