About Me
Fascinated by mathematics, hoping to make an impact in developmental economics, and with a personal fondness for relaxing myself with music, I have acquired a diverse set of skills and experiences that drive my enthusiasm for these fields. I hope you have as much fun on this page as I did making it!
Education
WHERE I'VE STUDIED
2012 - 2019
Dubai English Speaking School
2019 - Present
Dubai College - I became Head Boy here! Have had a ton of fun since being elected, and have gotten the chance to grow into the role quite a bit.
Experience
WHERE I'VE INTERNED
June 2024
PRS Legislative research -
A non-governmental organization seeking to improve India’s legislature by providing information on bills, educating Members of Parliament, and India’s LAMP Fellowship
for budding policymakers
What I did:
o Analyzed Karnataka’s Social Security, Platform-based Gig-Worker Bill (2024) to highlight shortcomings
​
o Researched in-depth about India’s Higher Education success since 2010, including policies like Rashtriya Uchhattar Shiksha Abhiyan
June 2025
PRS Legislative research - Again! Gained a lot from my previous experience, so decided to give it another shot
​
This time I:
​
o Independently researched the effectiveness of national policies in addressing multidimensional poverty since 2014, specifically in states with varying levels of
development, varying levels of progress since 1991's economic reform, and by socioeconomic circumstances, to be reflective of India's population
​
o Reviewed 40+ sources of literature
o Highlighted the states with the highest policy intensity to inform where structural issues in implementation or planning lie
​
o Utilized spatial analysis to reveal systemic issues that nationwide policies could not address
o Delivered a presentation to PRS employees, suggesting actionable, quantitatively driven changes in policy evaluation at the national level
​
