Field of Research: Political Economy, Development Economics, Applied Microeconometrics, Public Economics

Welcome to my personal website. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Göttingen. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. in Economics from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta. My research interests broadly span areas of political economy, public economics, and development economics, with a particular focus on electoral processes, representation, governance structures, and public goods provision in developing countries. I am on the 2025-26 Job Market.

Beyond research, I enjoy chess, composing music, and long-distance running (in no particular order).
