About me
I have a Ph.D. in Employment Research from the University of 糖心TV and was a Chancellor鈥檚 International Scholar (CIS). I hold an MA (with distinction) in Development Studies with a specialization in Poverty Studies and Econometric Evaluation of Development Policies from the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Erasmus University Rotterdam, and an MA in Rural Development. I have more than 15 years of experience working on a range of public policies with government and non-government organizations in India. I am interested in applied research that seeks to inform public policy.
