Welcome! 

I am a second year graduate student in the PhD in Public Policy (Economics track) program at Harvard Kennedy School. I am interested in development economics, labor economics, and political economy. 

I am a graduate student affiliate at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvad University.

I completed my Master of Arts in Economic Policy from Boston University (BU) and graduated with a Bachelor and Master of Technology in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay.

Before starting my graduate studies, I have worked as an RA at EPoD, BU and NBER in the Boston-Cambridge area.
