At The World Bank, I worked as a consultant on surveys and evaluation research in Odisha’s KBK region, including reporting and coordination. My work there included research on income variability in drought-prone areas and health and mortality in Western Odisha.

With AcNielsenORG, I coordinated survey and reporting work for VEDANT INC.’s CSR initiatives in drinking water, health, nutrition, education, and livelihoods. At DJRC, I contributed research and impact assessment for CSR projects focused on drinking water, education, nutrition, and health services.

At TRL-SBI RSETI, I served as Assistant Director, supporting administration, coordination, skill development initiatives, and livelihood training. I also worked on CSR activities for TRL Krosaki Refractories Limited.

My later consulting assignments have included surveys and impact assessment, child marriage mitigation, data validation and management, and coordination for migration research. I hold a PhD from Sambalpur University, with a thesis on industrial health and organisational culture.
