What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply economic research, data analysis, and policy insight to financial risk, development, or social-impact work with opportunities to solve complex public-policy and inclusion challenges.

I've supported EXL Service's Model Risk Management work for US personal banking and wealth management, consulting with validation managers, model owners, and governance teams on credit-loss forecasting under Basel norms.

At MicroSave Development Consulting, I analyzed a decade of India's social-sector expenditure, traced coverage across government schemes, and contributed reports for a financial-inclusion dipstick study involving the Ministry of Finance and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My published research examines gendered labour-market effects of the pandemic, universal basic income, MGNREGA, and private-sector C-section deliveries in India.
