I am a PhD Scholar in the Department of Economics at IIT Bombay. My broad research interests lie in Development Economics, with a particular focus on Labour Economics, Gender Economics, Health Economics, and Public Policy.

My ongoing research explores three interconnected questions: how childbirth shapes women’s labour market outcomes; how labour-market policies influence employers’ hiring decisions and gender disparities; and how policies that place resources directly in women’s hands affect household economic behaviour and resource allocation.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Economics from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.
