I work with the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) as the Project Manager in the Culture Department. Primarily responsible for the work in the area of cultural policy research and dialogue. The diverse range of activities undertaken include policy panels at ASEM Culture Ministers' Meetings (ASEM CMMs) and international platforms such as the European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres (ENCATC) and the UCLG Culture Summits; publications targeting cultural policy issues of common relevance to both regions; and, support to research on arts and culture in the ASEM countries. Prior to joining ASEF, I launched The Mumbai Assembly, an independent cultural agency focused on creating new platforms for collaboration and showcasing in the space of creative and cultural industries, and supporting the development of a sustainable ecosystem for cultural entrepreneurship in India. The key strands of work included development of showcasing platforms for emerging and independent artists across art forms, arts-based immersive activities, dialogue channels particularly on the topics of inter-disciplinary and crossover work and establishing a community cultural centre.

I focus on the conscious and nonconscious ways people fundamentally orient to the world. Using basic science and experimental research approaches, I investigate how individuals' motivations, emotions, needs, and goals impact the basic ways they perceive, interpret, and ultimately react to the information around them. With my team members, we tackle issues including biased support for diverse leadership among adults and children, bias in jurors' visual experiences when viewing evidence, biased perceptions of environments when pursuing better health, and other outcomes.
