I’m a doctoral candidate in Economics at the Centre for the Study of the World Economy (formerly, Centre for International Trade and Development), JNU, New Delhi, and expect to complete my PhD in December 2026. I am on the 2026–27 academic job market. My CV and job market paper are available here. My research focuses on the intersection of labor markets, health, and family dynamics, with a specific interest in how history, culture, social norms, and institutions shape economic development. I employ applied microeconomic methods to study how violence, social norms, and institutional structures affect health outcomes and women’s labor supply. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Loyola College, Chennai, and a Master’s degree from the University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram.

Beyond academia, I enjoy reading non-fiction, experimenting with new recipes, and participating in quizzes. I’m also passionate about travel and fitness. I maintain an alternate space where I write about topics beyond research.
