I am a PhD researcher at the Gender Centre at the Geneva Graduate Institute and a research fellow at the Centre for Finance and Development. I research international finance, relations and histories of debt, state politics and how gender is produced at their intersection.

I'm was a visiting research fellow (funded by the doc-mobility scheme by the Swiss National Science Foundation) at the University of Edinburgh.

My research is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation to study global capital flows in rural credit and how these intersect with local politics and gendered relations in Indian microfinance. I am interested in understanding moralities of debt and how modern law and state are shaped by debt and how finance both challenges and builds upon existing debt relations.

My research methods span different scales of finance and politics - international, national and local and study how these are interconnected. My background is in political theory, political anthropology and sociology and my previous research was focused on social movements, crowds, pluralistic politics and gendered selfhood in liberal politics. I speak English, Hindi and intermediate French and Bengali.
