I am a writer and scholar of business, economic and financial history, with a particular focus on how caste, kinship, and community networks shape the organisation of firms and finance in South Asia.

Before academia, I spent nearly a decade reporting on business, political economy, and globalisation in South Asia as a full-time long form and enterprise writer with leading national newspapers. I also built and led audience engagement teams for digital businesses and financial news media owned by News Corp in India. I continue to write across genres — from historical analysis to long-form narratives and literature— and am especially interested in how economic ideas circulate in public life.

A professional member of the Irish Writers Centre, I am an awardee of the national Evolution Programme for 2025-26 and was shortlisted for Arts Council Ireland’s prestigious Literature Bursary Award in 2024.

I move between Dublin-Belfast-London, Épernay and New Delhi.
