Her research focuses on wastewater management systems in an urban context. She holds a master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur and bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.

Using an indicator, the circularity level of urban areas can be assessed. She is also focusing on the ways through which water consumption can be reduced at the domestic level with scope for utilities in managing future water demand.
