Independent Research & Writing 

Alongside formal coursework and internships, I independently explore economic and business systems through research-based writing on Medium. These pieces are not opinion blogs, but structured attempts to understand how markets, startups, and public policy operate in real-world contexts. Writing has become a way for me to synthesize data, question assumptions, and connect economic theory with observable outcomes.

The Food Delivery Market 

In my analysis of the global and Indian food delivery markets, I examined industry size, growth drivers, and structural differences between developed and developing economies. Using market data, I explored how factors such as urbanization, labor costs, disposable income, and platform-based competition shape profitability for firms like Zomato and Swiggy. I also evaluated future growth vectors—such as quick commerce, multi-category delivery, and automation—while recognizing why labor-intensive models remain more efficient in countries like India. This research helped me understand how macroeconomic conditions and consumer behavior directly influence business strategy.

Startup Revenue Models

My research on startup revenue models focused on how early-stage companies choose frameworks that determine sustainability and scalability. I analyzed models such as licensing, arbitrage, and pay-per-use, using real-world examples like Uber, Amazon Web Services, and global logistics firms. Beyond definitions, the research emphasized why revenue strategy is rarely fixed—highlighting the importance of flexibility, experimentation, and market feedback. This piece strengthened my understanding of how business models evolve alongside growth and competitive pressure.

Economics of Education

In my work on the economics of education, I examined how access to education influences economic growth and social equity, particularly in developing countries like India. I analyzed persistent challenges such as socioeconomic inequality, gender disparities, and uneven public funding, while also exploring the role of private investment and public–private partnerships. This research reinforced the idea that education is not only a social good but an economic investment—one that directly impacts productivity, mobility, and long-term development.

College research:
In my first Semester at Northeastern, I conducted an independent research investigation analyzing Formula One’s modern transformation through sustainability policy, global expansion, and financial regulation. Drawing on peer-reviewed journals, legal analyses, and industry data, I evaluated whether F1’s Net Zero commitments, geographic growth, and cost-cap reforms meaningfully address environmental impact, ethical concerns, and competitive inequality. My work synthesizes economic, political, and environmental perspectives to assess how global commercialization reshapes accountability in elite sport.

In the summer I completed the following courses:

Behavioral Finance — Duke University (Coursera)

This course fundamentally changed how I understand financial decision-making by revealing how psychological biases shape choices under risk and uncertainty. I explored concepts such as loss aversion, overconfidence, and mental accounting, and how they influence market behavior and personal investing. The coursework helped me move beyond purely rational models and appreciate why real markets often behave unpredictably. I now approach financial decisions with greater self-awareness, discipline, and skepticism toward my own assumptions.

Organizational Behavior (Coursera)

Through this course, I developed a deeper understanding of how individuals and groups function within organizations. I studied motivation, leadership styles, communication, and decision-making, and how these elements shape workplace culture and performance. The material emphasized the human side of institutions, highlighting how incentives, emotions, and social dynamics influence outcomes. This perspective has strengthened my ability to analyze leadership and teamwork in both academic and real-world settings.

Investment Portfolio Management (Coursera)

This course introduced me to the principles of portfolio construction, risk-return trade-offs, and diversification. I learned how investors evaluate performance, manage risk, and make allocation decisions under uncertainty. The emphasis on market efficiency and disciplined strategy reinforced the importance of long-term thinking over short-term speculation. It sharpened my analytical approach to investing and helped me think more systematically about capital allocation.

Zerodha Varsity Certified — Financial Markets

Through Zerodha Varsity, I built a comprehensive understanding of financial markets, covering equities, derivatives, fundamental and technical analysis, and risk management. The program connected theory with real market behavior, emphasizing discipline, probability, and trading psychology. It reinforced the importance of risk control and emotional regulation in investing. Completing the certification strengthened my practical understanding of how markets operate beyond textbooks.
