Welcome to my website! I am an applied development economist with a specialized focus on caste identities and credit market outcomes, the effects of rainfall shocks on wages, and gender-based fuel choices in India. 

In addition to my primary research, I am involved in several other projects: analyzing landowner conservation behavior in the United States, investigating market concentration and its effects on the cocoa market in Ghana, and studying the impact of land redistribution policies on economic outcomes in West Bengal (India). 

I am passionate about working at the intersection of economics and sociology. I use both quantitative and qualitative research methods to answer my research questions.

I received my BA (Economics) and MA (Economics) from Jadavpur University, Kolkata (India). Before starting my PhD, I was a Junior Research Fellow at Observer Research Foundation, India's leading public policy think tank.
