Profile Summary

PhD in Economics with extensive experience in applied economic research, financial econometrics, and consulting across academia, policy-oriented institutions, and private consulting firms. My core expertise spans financial economics, banking and finance, macroeconomic analysis, risk modelling, and development economics, with a strong emphasis on translating rigorous empirical analysis into actionable insights for decision-makers. I have worked as a Research Associate with the RBI Endowment Cell and leading development research institutes, contributing to projects on banking performance, intellectual capital, income diversification, agricultural credit, and stock market dynamics. My consulting experience includes advisory roles with Capstar Consulting and independent consulting assignments, where I support clients with economic analysis, financial modelling, data-driven research reports, and policy evaluation. I bring advanced proficiency in econometric and quantitative methods, including panel data models, time-series analysis, risk and volatility modelling, and applied data analysis using R. I have authored and edited multiple books and book chapters with Springer Nature and Routledge Taylor & Francis, and my research has been recognised through national awards for best research papers and book publications. Alongside research and consulting, I have over eight years of university-level teaching experience, which strengthens my ability to clearly communicate complex analytical findings to diverse stakeholders. My interests on Kolabtree include economic and financial research, data analysis, financial and banking sector studies, macro-financial modelling, policy-oriented research, and evidence-based consulting assignments requiring methodological rigour and domain expertise.
