Before starting graduate school, I worked as a Research Assistant at Center for the Advanced Study of India, University of Pennsylvania. I hold a Masters degree in Economics from Boston University, MBA in Finance and Bachelors in Industrial Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, India (#10 engineering school in India, #997 globally).
