1st day at the office since the start of the pandemic and since starting at Crisis Group. Returning to in-person work, I have a newfound appreciation for this physical space and feel immensely thankful for the opportunity to finally, truly, meet my colleagues.

An engaging conversation between Janine di Giovanni and Suketu Mehta at McNally Jackson on the importance of diversity in the Middle East. Some really gripping stories included in her new book “The Vanishing” highlighting why we must do better to protect minorities in the region.

Such a great feeling to finally be at #Harlem’s historic apollotheater tonight for the world famous #AmateurNightApollo. After a two year hiatus, the uptown funk is back!

Truly honored and grateful to share my reflections on NYU Wagner here — a place that has given me the closest friends, a chance to work with great professors, and most importantly, a steadfast passion to make this world a better place. wagner.nyu.edu/news/story/stu…

Best part of last week was hearing from Chris Blattman about his new book Why We Fight. New York University’s William Easterly asked some very thought provoking questions on development & conflict, just as he always did in our class on African Economics. Thanks, DRI for hosting!

A beautiful evening hearing from P. Sainath about his new book The Last Heroes: Food Soldiers of Indian Freedom. Very engaging discussion on India's 75th Independence Day, and its continued fight for freedom against inequality. Thanks SCMSophia for hosting! People's Archive of Rural India

So proud to have had the opportunity to have worked on this with such an incredible team Dasra. #Philanthropy has a critical role to play in #India’s development journey.

Are subsidies good policy, or do they merely perpetuate state dependence? I think those in favour of subsidies presented the stronger reasoning at yesterday’s G5A panel moderated by the ever-talented Faye DSouza

This weekend, I had the privilege of presenting my team’s research on the positive impacts of collectives on women’s empowerment and reducing the unpaid care burden. Thanks for having me IAWS!

For Dasra Philanthropy Week #DPW2024, we hosted a roundtable with on animal welfare. Our panel brought a diverse range of perspectives. Whether street dogs or egg-laying chickens, many participants felt India also holds a unique opportunity to become a world leader in this area.
