International
Trade Researcher
& Policy Thinker.

I study how nations trade, develop, and shape policy in a globalised economy. My doctoral research at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade focuses on trade patterns, value chains, and the architecture of economic decision-making.

Where my work lives — at the intersection of trade, policy and people.

International Trade

Examining trade patterns, global value chains and the policy frameworks that move goods and ideas across borders.

Economic Policy

Researching how policy interventions shape outcomes for industries, workers and emerging economies.

Why economics matters.

“ Economic research is the quiet architecture behind every policy that touches a life — it turns evidence into decisions, and decisions into welfare, growth and possibility.
