I'm currently in my 5th year of PhD program at the Department of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences (IMI) , Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. I hold an MSc. in Statistics from the University of Calcutta and a BSc. in Statistics from St. Xavier's College Kolkata. Prior to joining the PhD program at IISc in 2020, I worked as an analyst for a year in Marketing Management Analytics, Ipsos Research Pvt. Ltd. I am a recipient of the Prime Minister Research Fellowship from August 2021. I have also received the South East Asia Subsistence Fellowship from the University of Calcutta in 2017.

I worked as an analyst for a year in Marketing Management Analytics, Ipsos Research Pvt. Ltd. I worked on employing marketing-mix modelling to help clients determine investments in their brand portfolios and marketing strategies This involved applying various statistical techniques to project return on investment (ROI) from a particular marketing campaign based on historical data whilst factoring in client's business preferences. I also performed market share analysis for a major US fuel station using statistical and machine learning techniques.
