About

I’m a first-year undergraduate at Ashoka University, India’s leading liberal arts and sciences institution. I’m interested in pursuing courses in Economics & Public Policy, Political Science and International Relations, and in understanding how data-driven policy can promote inclusive and sustainable growth. I’m keen to engage with people working at the crossroads of economics, policy, and global affairs.
