The research aimed to identify how women aged 18-35, use social media and dating apps; the ways in which their online social participation shapes their self-perception, self-worth, identity and belonging. The research dived into the political and social beliefs of these women along with their biases towards others and themselves.

The research is based on interactions with 1200+ women across 3 northern states and a detailed survey with a sample size of 300 participants.

The aim of the study was to understand women's digital safety concerns and how the digital contexts are located within the immediate socio-cultural norms in their physical world-often limiting their authentic expression and participation. The survey also included questions on recent Gen AI developments and women's apprehension of deepfake porn threats.

After its success in Malaysia, Creador Foundation's flagship program Multiply is intended to create financial awareness for working class women- one of the most economically vulnerable groups in India.

From creating 150+ modules across relevant topics such as insurance, loans and savings to doing multiple rounds of Quality Checks, Whatsapp integration to build a seamless website and mobile app for all finance related questions.

Currently in its pre-launch testing phase, I have been preparing solid Social Media strategy that helps onboard users, higher click through and conversion rates through engaging, bite sized content and campaigns.

Keeping in mind to project Creador Foundation as a thought leader in the social work, CSR and financial literacy space, I have closely worked with the Vice President to refine the Brand Identity, Brand Strategy and Communications.

We set the course for our research under the mentorship of industry leaders at YLAC and Quantum Hub and decided to focus on two sectors-electronics and textiles- one being tech heavy the other has a dominant human component with special focus on MP Amar Patnaik's home state, Odisha.  

The recommendations in our brief followed a detailed study of the performance metrics prior and after the release of the scheme as well as stakeholder engagement wherever possible. 

The proposal pans across a range of variables from minimum investment criteria, role of tariffs and subsidies to quality control and securing investors after the scheme runs out, given that it was introduced as a stop gap measure. 

"The extensive research undertaken by the team thoroughly impressed Dr. Patnaik. This brief will help us tremendously during the Budget Session and later interventions."

My engagement with Marxist Feminist literature piqued my interest in labor studies- to look at how gender and the body we inhabit, shapes work- from the nature of our profession, wages, hours to the spaces we inhabit while we practice livelihood. 

As simple as the right to work to earn bread and butter goes, it's nuances take us to different avenues of analysis- I choose to go out, in the streets of New Delhi. Smack in the middle of institutional neglect and criminalisation to socio-economic ostracisation, Delhi's 'beggar problem' has been a riddle for reformists. 

Following Swati P. Shah's footsteps, an anthropologist and sex-work scholar who worked on Mumbai's red light district- I approached the question of begging from a paradigm of choice. 

To establish my thesis I spent 3 months visiting the reform centers run by SPYM (in collaboration with AAP government), interviewing men women and children who have been taking shelter at these state run hostels, gathering qualitative data through poverty line survey and  narratives.

"This thesis stands at the fateful intersection of urban studies, development studies and gender studies. There are so many possibilities ahead, this is important work and these are important questions"

"This subject is a minefield, you could spend a lifetime and you would be left with more questions and fewer answers. Regardless, I appreciate her courage to carry this research into the field, knowing well that the complexities would grow. You end up finding things no one prepared you for."

From picking out as many you could from the doctor's office, airport or your college admissions room, infographics are like souvenirs that testify your presence at a place long after crumbling at the bottom of your purse. 

While printing them is slowly moving out, the format is still as effective digitally.       Check out some sample work I did for Creador below.
