About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Finance and Economics at Columbia Business School. My research interests include private capital markets, specially private equity, real estate, and asset pricing. I will be on the Academic Job Market in AFA/AEA 2023.

I visited Harvard Business School in Spring 2022. I was a Dissertation Intern at the New York Federal Reserve in Summer 2022, and at the Federal Reserve Board in Summer 2021.

Previously, I graduated from MIT Sloan School of Management with a Master of Finance in 2016, and completed my Bachelor of Arts in Economics with Honors Distinction from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University in 2015.
