I am an officer of the Indian Economic Service, serving as Deputy Director at the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India. My professional work has encompassed climate adaptation, environmental governance, climate finance, trade and sustainability, and international environmental negotiations.

I have contributed to India’s climate adaptation efforts, Green Climate Fund initiatives and sustainability-related work in Free Trade Agreements. My international engagements include representing India at CBD COP16 and participating in international workshops, conferences and policy dialogues.

My work engages with the economic, institutional and policy dimensions of sustainable development, and how evidence and institutional frameworks can inform effective public policy.
