I am a scholar of International Political Economy specializing in Geoeconomics, Global Investment & trade Flows, and International Development. My research investigates how Geoeconomic risks, emerging out of currently shifting power regimes, affect outward foreign direct investments (FDI). I bring to this work both academic training and professional experience, bridging scholarship and practice to illuminate the politics of development in an era of renewed global power competition.
Before entering academia, I spent over five years working in financial markets and regulatory policy, designing risk management systems at the BSE (India), helping expand trade volumes at MCX-SX (India), and shaping regulatory policy for equities, bonds, and private equity markets at India’s Ministry of Finance. These experiences inform my research on financial flows, international organizations, and global development.
My path has taken me from securities exchanges and national policy-making to graduate training and now to doctoral research at UC Riverside. Across these roles, I have remained committed to understanding how Geoeconomic policies and financial institutions affect global IPE flows, with particular expertise in financial flows.
