Message

At the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, I analyze India’s critical minerals value chain, including domestic supply, recycling potential, and circular economy pathways. I led quantitative analysis for India’s EV battery recycling roadmap, forecasting battery waste, conducting life cycle assessment and mineral recovery analysis, and using geospatial modelling to inform infrastructure planning.

My work has also covered e-waste circularity, climate adaptation hotspots, and adaptation finance, including technical contributions to NITI Aayog Working Groups. Earlier, at the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, I worked on wetland management and helped deliver the State of Wetlands Book (Volume I); at Perfact Environmental Consultants, I prepared environmental impact assessments and land-use maps.
