What I'm looking for

I’m seeking analyst or associate roles in international relations, foreign policy, or public policy research.

At Foreign Policy Research Centre, I conducted qualitative and quantitative research on foreign policy, global governance, and political developments. I also authored three long-form analytical articles, making complex geopolitical themes accessible to public-facing policy audiences.

At Indian Constitutional Aid Association, I produced policy briefs and research reports on constitutional awareness, governance, rights, and civic education. I translated research findings into clear formats for legal, policy, and public-facing audiences.

My writing focuses on foreign policy, South Asian borderland politics, and Himalayan geopolitics. I’ve also built Matchyouraesthetics, an independent digital platform for visual storytelling and brand identity, which generated 41K+ views and 6.3K+ engagement actions.
