I am an Assistant Professor at IIHMR Bangalore with training in medicine and public health. I hold an MBBS degree and a Master of Public Health (MPH), and have worked across government, private, and non-governmental health systems in different parts of India, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands under the Directorate of Health Services. During my field roles, I provided clinical care and coordinated multiple National Health Mission programmes, including NTEP, NCD, MCH, and vector-borne disease initiatives. I have also been a part of the DigiSwasthya Foundation as a consulting physician where the NGO provides free services to patients.

My academic and professional work focuses on public health implementation and health systems strengthening. I have been associated with projects such as implementation research under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme in Rajasthan, an ICSSR-supported initiative on integrating AYUSH and community medicine for sustainable supply chains, and the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), where I served as a Health Coordinator.
