Research topics
Collaboration information
I am currently working on the dynamics of payment methods and the demand for cash in India, which was the topic of research for my PhD work at the IITB-Monash Research Academy, a joint PhD between the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) and Monash University, Melbourne. I work on advancing academic research in the social and behavioural sciences in India with Monk Prayogshala, a not-for-profit academic research organization based in Mumbai. We have extensively collaborated with researchers in Australia previously, with researchers at Monash, University of South Australia, and University of Melbourne. We typically put together a joint research proposal and seek funding to enable fieldwork and data collection in a timely manner.
