A doctoral student at the Department of Rural and Urban Development, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, I have been working in the domain of just energy transitions since 2019. Having worked in multiple think-tanks in India, I have been a part of multiple research-cum-advocacy projects around electricity sector, energy, labour welfare, just transitions, responsible renewable energy and oil exploration sector. For reasons of interest and getting rid of tactically imposed limitations on freedom of think-tanks to 'speak truth to power', I vouched to shift to academics to give it a try!
