About

Started in climate adaptation, now I work in clean energy policy. I'm keenly interested in the evolving global renewable energy (RE) landscape, particularly solar energy. Work entails interpreting the implications of India's energy policy and regulations for RE procurement by electricity consumers. Driven by the goals of climate justice and sustainable development.
