I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Institute for Public Policy at National Law School of India University (NLSIU) and an Honorary Associate Professor at Institute for Employment Research, University of Warwick. My research interests are in the fields of Labour and Development Economics with a particular focus on skills and education, future of work, decent work, and social inequality.
