About

With 3 years of dedicated UPSC preparation and an academic foundation in English Literature and Political Science (pursuing my Masters), I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor, interdisciplinary insight, and creative expression to the domains of policy, politics, and international relations. Passionate about understanding and shaping socio-political landscapes, I have authored two published articles highlighting the resilience and socio-economic impact of women-led Self Help Groups in flood-prone West Bengal. My work not only reflects grassroots realities but also informs development strategies with nuanced, data-driven storytelling. Leveraging hands-on editorial experience from the TRIP Internship Programme and advanced certifications from Yale University ("Moral Foundations of Politics") and SOAS, University of London ("Global Diplomacy in the Modern World"), I possess a robust intellectual toolkit to engage with complex political narratives and global policy challenges. I am committed to translating academic knowledge and field insights into impactful contributions that address pressing socio-political issues. My profile combines scholarly depth, practical expertise, and communication skills ideal for roles in policy analysis, research, diplomatic strategy, and social development.
