I am an economist from India, now based in Washington, DC. I moved to the United States in 2017 to pursue my Master’s degree in Applied Economics at the University of Maryland, an experience that shaped both my analytical foundation and my commitment to public-oriented economic research.
I am currently a Vice President in Country Risk Management at Citi, where my work focuses on assessing macroeconomic, sovereign, and geopolitical risks across global markets. I analyze economic and financial developments, evaluate country-specific vulnerabilities, and contribute to risk assessments that support informed decision-making and strategic risk management.
I have worked with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, where I focused on macroeconomic forecasting, fiscal analysis, and country-level policy work. My research has included topics such as economic and climate resilience, macro-fiscal risks, and affordable housing.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, painting, practicing yoga, and rock climbing (indoor for now, but hoping to explore outdoor climbing soon). I am passionate about lifelong learning, building meaningful connections, and advancing economic research that strengthens communities and enhances the accuracy of policy impacts.
