About

As a Research Analyst at Arun Jaitley National Institute of Financial Management (AJNIFM), I apply my quantitative and qualitative research skills to the field of public policy research, contributing to informed policy decisions and transparency. In my current role, I have written 13 research-based articles for the Lok Sabha Secretariat on various topics, conducted a Third-Party Impact Evaluation Study of the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for White Goods, and conducted third-party transparency audits under the Right to Information (RTI) Act for 43 public authorities. I have a strong background in financial analysis, market research, and forecasting, with experience in working with clients from diverse domains. I have also developed a Composite Index for Public Financial Management in Indian States for AJNIFM where I learned advanced tools and techniques for data collection, cleaning, analysis, and interpretation. I am proficient in IBM SPSS, SQL, and R programming languages, and have used them to perform rigorous statistical analysis and generate meaningful results. I am also skilled in identifying emerging themes, providing valuable insights, and supporting research conclusions with statistical findings. I am passionate about applying my research skills to solve real-world problems and create social impact. I am always eager to learn new skills and methods, and collaborate with others to achieve research excellence.
