What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to apply my research skills in a dynamic environment, contributing to impactful economic policies and analyses.

I am a dedicated and passionate economics student currently pursuing my Master's degree at the University of Hyderabad. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in various economic theories and practical applications, particularly in labor economics and trade theories. I have consistently excelled in my studies, achieving a GPA of 8.08 in my Master's program and a remarkable 9.29 in my Bachelor's degree.

My research experience includes significant projects such as my Master's thesis on the socioeconomic analysis of unpaid elderly care work, where I identified critical gender and income disparities. Additionally, I authored a research paper on religious discrimination in Hyderabad's housing market, employing both qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover systemic barriers. My internships at the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation and the Forum for Alternative Research in Mumbai have further honed my analytical skills and provided me with valuable insights into policy formulation.
