About Me
Bio: I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a MS in Industrial Administration in 2018 and a PhD in Business Technologies in 2020. I worked closely with the Marketing Department at Tepper School of Business. My research focuses on impact of Technology on Pricing and Markets.
Prior to joining CMU, I completed my undergraduate in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi between 2007-2011. Thereafter, I spent five years from 2011 to 2016 as a Data Strategist for Goldman Sachs.
