Here is a small selection of my work from the last few years. In addition to my public facing writing, I've also written memos, academic papers, and reviews across a myriad of topics in development, politics, and business. Feel free to reach out if any of my work interests you!
Most recently I have been writing on my Substack, Chai Masala.
