About

Nobody told me that studying cities would teach me how to think. But here I am reading urban systems, decoding grassroots data, and realizing that the most complex problems aren't solved by one discipline alone. I'm Jhalak, a Sustainable Urbanism student at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Delhi. My academic foundation is interdisciplinary by design and so is the way I approach problems. Over the past year, I've had the chance to move beyond textbooks: Earlier, I explored the intersection of finance and human behavior at Focus Wise Solution, where I built investment frameworks and understood how real people make financial decisions not just how spreadsheets say they should. Through content strategy work at InAmigos, I learned something underrated: communication is research. Understanding your audience is half the work. And most recently, in 2026, at the World Intellectual Foundation, I researched India's grassroots development models under the SEVA Project analyzing community-driven initiatives across education, health, and social service sectors. Working in a think tank environment taught me that data without context is just noise. Along the way, I've been building quietly Power BI, Excel, data visualization, ESG analysis, financial analytics. Not for the sake of tools, but because I believe good thinking needs good execution behind it. What drives me isn't just the subject matter. It's the questions that don't have clean answers yet. Next, I'm looking to apply this multidisciplinary lens to research or analytics roles where sustainability, data, and real-world impact intersect. I'm particularly drawn to work that sits at the edge of policy, technology, and human systems. If you're working on something in that space or know someone who is, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
