I am an accomplished engineer with a background in the IT sector. However, I decided to embark on a transformative journey by pursuing a Master's in Public Policy at the prestigious Kautilya School of Public Policy. My decision is driven by an unwavering passion for driving change and positively impacting society. I firmly believe that evidence-based policy-making is the new paradigm for shaping a better future. I am fascinated by how politics shape the policies of our country and the interplay between policy-making and politics. Understanding this dynamic relationship is crucial for making tangible contributions toward societal development. My specific area of interest lies in issues of representation and empowerment. I am deeply committed to studying and addressing the challenges faced by marginalized communities and exploring ways to ensure their meaningful participation in decision-making processes. By actively following the contemporary developments of social policies across different geographies, I strive to gain a global perspective and learn from successful approaches implemented elsewhere.
