Ideas:
“  I am currently exploring the financial and trade-derived relationship between the United Kingdom and India, particularly in the fields of exchange of financial services and development of fintech sectors. Examining this bilateral relationship provides recommendations for economic progress between developed and developing economies. Beyond this, I am passionate about socio-economic research and have authored several research and policy papers focusing on themes of socio-economic development such as privatization, resource-curse, education, industrial revolution, political frameworks for development and social protection programs.  ”
