I am a Staff Research Analyst with the High-Tech Geopolitics Programme at the Takshashila Institution in Bengaluru.
The central question that guides my research at Takshashila is how India can script her technological future amid the geopolitical shifts underway.
I closely follow and write about developments in cyber and nuclear domains.
I have been awarded as India’s next generation strategic thinker by India’s World and the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.
