I am a theoretical economist specializing in mechanism design, microeconomics and game theory.

I am currently an Assistant Professor (tenure track) at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research in Mumbai, which I have held since 2019. I am also serving as an Adjunct Faculty at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode since 2023. Prior to this, I was a CDE-IEG post-doctoral fellow at the Delhi School of Economics in New Delhi.

I earned my Ph.D. and M.S. in Quantitative Economics at the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata. Prior to that, I earned an undergraduate degree in Economics from St. Thomas College, Thrissur (affiliated to the University of Calicut).
