About me

I am a Communication and Media Studies scholar whose research sits at the intersection of feminist communication studies, digital cultures, digital labour platforms, and the future of work(ers), with a focus on practices and experiences that are often considered ordinary, overlooked, or rendered invisible.

I received my PhD in Communication from the Department of Communication at the University of Hyderabad. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Communications area at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), with over three years of teaching experience.

As a qualitative researcher interested in studying social life in its complexity and diversity, my work is grounded in Communication Studies, an interdisciplinary field shaped by its long-standing dialogue with other social sciences. A feminist lens informs my approach to communication by emphasising relationality and lived experience, while resisting rigid, binary ways of thinking.

I understand communication as culture and as a constitutive process through which social life is reproduced and becoming unfolds. In this view, the everyday is a site of meaning-making, continually shaped by and shaping the processes through which social life is sustained and made meaningful across homes, streets, screens, and workplaces.

This perspective informs my engagement with questions of gender, labour, care work, power, and political economy, and guides the qualitative approaches I draw on in my research.
