Energy Transition · Economic Modelling · Policy Analysis

Energy transition professional working across economics, modelling, and policy. Currently at TERI's Energy Assessment and Modelling team, focused on decarbonisation pathways and policy scenarios for India's energy future.
I enjoy translating complex systems into clear insights that support decision-making across business, policy, and public institutions.

About

Who I Am

With a background spanning electronics engineering and business economics, I have worked across research, analytics, and strategy. That foundation now sits at the centre of my work in energy modelling and transition policy.

My current work at TERI focuses on decarbonisation modelling, exploring frameworks like CGE modelling and carbon markets to understand how economies shift toward cleaner energy systems. Before this, I worked with CEEW's power markets team on renewable energy integration, RE curtailment analysis, and climate-economic research.

"I enjoy turning complex questions into structured insights, using data, economic reasoning, and analytical thinking to support better decisions across energy and public policy."

Outside work, you will find me on a badminton court, planning my next trip, or reading about energy markets, policy, and economic systems.

Experience

Where I've Worked

TERI — The Energy and Resources Institute

Associate, Energy Assessment & Modelling

Apr 2026 – Present

Working on decarbonisation research and energy transition modelling, with a current focus on Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) analysis and CGE modelling frameworks. Building hands-on experience in GAMS and input-output analysis, while supporting policy research and stakeholder engagement on India's energy and climate landscape.

CEEW — Council on Energy, Environment and Water

Research Intern, Power Market

Jan 2026 – Apr 2026

RE Integration & Curtailment

Analysed renewable energy integration and curtailment patterns using plant-level generation data across multiple states and regional grids, evaluating implications for grid reliability and balancing.
Assessed ancillary services frameworks including TRAS Down and re-backdown mechanisms, examining compensation structures and energy storage arbitrage under India's evolving power market design.

Climate Risk & Industrial Productivity

Conducted econometric analysis of climate-induced heat exposure on industrial output, labour productivity, and energy consumption using plant-level ASI data and district-level temperature indicators.
Generated insights into climate-economic risks and adaptation pathways relevant to industrial energy planning.

ITC Ltd.

Marketing Research Intern

Summer 2024

Rural market research and retailer analysis for the Mom's Magic brand. Contributed to a distribution strategy that drove a 60% regional sales uplift, grounding the analytical toolkit in commercial and market realities.

Prior to the above: 5G R&D Intern at HFCL (2023), focused on hardware testing and system integration.
