Practice Head, Household Finance @Dvara Research

View department →

The objective of the Household Finance Practice at Dvara Research is to build a demand-side perspective on household level barriers, preferences and contexts in accessing and using formal financial services. We aim to build a body of knowledge around households\' financial decisions and solving critical challenges in the design and delivery of financial services towards improving financial well-being. In my current role, I design the research agenda for the practice that is relevant to the Indian policy context and financial landscape, mentor a team of young researchers and lead the thinking on research areas of priority that can provide actionable insights to financial service providers catering to low-income households.
