My work interrogates how law, standards, and institutional power shape the architecture of the digital public sphere — particularly in the Global South — where questions of sovereignty, democratic resilience, and information integrity are most sharply contested.

My research focuses on platform governance, AI standardization, internet shutdowns, and the political economy of data infrastructures. I examine how regulatory systems interact with technical design choices, often embedding asymmetries of power that determine who controls information flows, standards-setting processes, and digital markets.

I hold an MA in Public Policy (Distinction) from Central European University in Vienna, and a BA LLB from Symbiosis International University. I am enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi.
