About

Currently working as an Assistant Professor and Co-Chair of the Accounting area at Jindal School of Banking & Finance (JSBF), O.P. Jindal Global University. Previously, I was a doctoral candidate in the Department of Economics & Finance at Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani, India. My PhD thesis explores the impact of ICT diffusion on financial, economic, and sustainable development in SAARC countries, utilizing quantitative methods and econometric models.

My interests lie in development finance, with a particular focus on ICT diffusion, financial inclusion, growth, and sustainable development issues. I have contributed to reputed international journals such as the Australasian Journal of Information Systems, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Journal of Public Affairs, Poverty & Public Policy, and others.

Prior to pursuing my PhD, I completed my B.Com (Hons.) from the University of Delhi and my M.Com from Panjab University. I qualified the UGC-NET examination and secured the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Commerce in 2019.

Outside of academia, I indulge my passion for charcoal sketching, allowing me to explore my artistic side during my leisure time.
