I am a policy technocrat with over a decade of experience across government institutions, multilateral organisations, and civil society in India—working on human development, state capacity, poverty measurement, SDG monitoring, labour markets, and evidence-based policymaking. I am currently a Chevening Scholar and an MPP student at LSE.

Acknowledgement

My sincere thanks to Professor Richard Davies and his team for teaching me coding and data visualization—one of the most valuable skill sets I have acquired. I intend for this website to serve as a repository for my policy research and a medium for public engagement.
