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 and economic modelling, exploring frameworks like energy-system and economic modelling to understand how economies shift toward cleaner energy systems. Before this, I worked with CEEW's power markets team on renewable energy integration, 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, climate policy, and economic systems.

Experience

Where I've Worked

TERI — The Energy and Resources Institute

Associate, Energy Assessment & Modelling

May 2026 – Present

Conducting quantitative research on energy-transition pathways and industrial decarbonisation, examining India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and its economy-wide implications for sectoral emission targets.
Contributed to a multi-criteria assessment of alternative vehicular fuel pathways, analysing mineral waste, hazard severity, and policy impacts across India's transport energy transition.
Developing applied modelling capability in energy-system to assess energy-transition.

CEEW — Council on Energy, Environment and Water

Research Intern, Power Market

Jan 2026 – Apr 2026

Climate Heat Exposure & Industrial Productivity

Conducted panel econometric analysis of climate-induced heat exposure on industrial output and labour productivity using plant-level ASI data integrated with district temperature indicators.
Built and harmonised a large unbalanced factory-year panel, resolving survey redesign and geographic inconsistencies for credible exposure estimation.

Renewable Curtailment & Ancillary Services

Assessed solar and wind curtailment using plant- and state-level generation data across multiple states and regional grids; evaluated curtailment under TRAS and its implications for Ancillary Services compensation.
Examined re-backdown mechanisms and energy storage arbitrage economics relevant to renewable-integration policy and power market design.

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.
