Work
As a venture investor and development economist, I’m driven to accelerate economic growth and expand opportunity beyond borders.I am currently Co-Founder of Growth Teams, a nonprofit that works hand-in-hand with developing country governments -- primarily in Africa and India -- to deliver their inclusive growth strategies.Prior to Growth Teams, I served as an advisor to governments in Africa on investment, innovation, and industrial policy with the Tony Blair Institute.Before that, I spent half a decade in impact investing, making early-stage investments and helping grow startups across India. I launched Acumen's education portfolio and new initiatives for Sangam Ventures.I began my career in a remote town of rural Bihar, working for Nobel Prize-winning economists on a large-scale primary education impact evaluation.
