What I'm looking for

I'm seeking analyst, consulting, ESG, and policy research roles where rigorous economic analysis drives sustainability and policy outcomes.

At TERI's Transport and Urban Governance Division, I compiled energy-use data from CONCOR terminals and created an Excel baseline with energy-intensity indicators. I also conducted traffic counts at six Delhi NCR junctions, recording more than 15,000 vehicle observations.

For a joint study with KAPSARC, I reviewed hydrogen strategies and policy documents from eight countries and developed a comparative matrix that informed India-focused recommendations. I also benchmarked international battery traceability frameworks, including the EU Battery Regulation's digital battery passport, to inform a proposed framework for India's EV sector.

Earlier, at Sycom Project Consultants Pvt. Ltd., I developed strategic recommendations for client engagements and mapped processes for Bihar Tourism. I also built an NPV/IRR and cost-benefit model for a sustainable housing project; its revenue projections informed the client's investment decision.

My economics degree and research projects have given me experience in econometrics, policy analysis, and sustainability. I'm skilled in Excel, Stata, R, and Python, and completed the McKinsey.org Forward Program in structured problem solving.
