Academic Background: 

My research focuses broadly on the economics of education, with a particular interest in the impact of education policies on short- and long-term outcomes other than test scores. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School (2017-18). I received my Ph.D. in Education from the University of Cambridge (2017) and M.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (2008).

Work Experience: 

I have worked with Swiss Re Services Ltd. (London, Zurich) with their Financial Audit team and PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. (PwC India) with their Social Sector Advisory, mainly engaging with state governments across the country. Consulting projects undertaken have ranged from developing vision and growth strategies, advising on education policy, and conducting large scale monitoring and evaluation of policy interventions across the social sector.
