About

I am an historian of economics interested especially in nineteenth century Indian Economics. I have completed my PhD in International Political Economy at King’s College London. My thesis analyses how Indian economists constructed an idea of development at the turn of the nineteenth century.

I am also working on a project with Mary Morgan (London School of Economics) on how the UN measures development.
