About

An urban professional, with an expertise in the design and co-ordination of metro, rail and aviation projects. My experience, of 10 years, consists in large-scale live projects that span across different countries. A graduate from SPA Delhi and with a masters in Urban Planning from Italy, I bring aboard diverse areas of competence and exposure. Currently, I am working as an Associate Architect for SMEC-SJ, with full-time engagement in their metro and rail projects. Previously, I have been a Housing+Innovation Research Fellow at the California based non-profit organization - New Story, researching on 'policy & finance' aspects of affordable housing. I had presented my research at an international conference, UPADSD 2020 (Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development), at the University of Florence which has been published by Springer.
