What I'm looking for

I’m interested in government advisory and public-sector consulting, where I can contribute to research and analysis of policies, programmes, and public-sector issues.

At [Startup Name], I research Punjab’s socio-economic, governance, and public-policy issues using government reports, official datasets, legislative documents, and credible media sources. I assess policies and programmes, then develop evidence-based briefs on issues including drug abuse, law and order, and public service delivery.

For the ADBI Project, I researched banking supervision frameworks across Asian economies and analyzed publications from RBI, BIS, and IMF against Basel standards. I synthesized financial datasets from 25+ Asian banks, and my research contributed to Chapter 4 of “Bank Regulation and Supervision Practices in South Asia,” published by the Asian Development Bank Institute.

With ASER, I collected field data across rural households and government schools for a nationwide education survey, examining learning outcomes and infrastructure indicators. I also hold a Master of Arts in Economics from Panjab University and have worked with Excel, STATA, EViews, SQL databases, R, and Python for research and analysis.
