I am Karan Singhal, a PhD in Economics student at the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Socioeconomic Research since 2022. My research interests include development economics, gender, social protection, labor economics, and education.

Additionally, I am a consultant with the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) in their Gender and Economic Inclusion department, and with Tally Solutions, assisting them in defining their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. I am also a board member of WES Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing education to underprivileged children in Dhanpuri, central India.
