Interest Areas
I explore how inclusive systems, open digital infrastructure, and people-centered design can shape the future of learning, work, and opportunity. These are current themes I’m researching to inform ongoing projects:
Open Digital Ecosystems
How can protocols like ONDC, Beckn, and India Stack reshape access to services, markets, and learning—especially for underserved communities?
Talent & Skills in the Digital Age
What does a skills-first approach to talent management look like? How can organizations align learning with dynamic role requirements and future-of-work needs?
Data for Learning, Work & System Intelligence
How can data be used responsibly to personalize learning, map skills, improve workforce planning, and inform more inclusive, adaptive systems for human development?
Credentials, Certification & Trust Infrastructure
How can interoperable credentials—across skills, quality standards, and regulatory compliance—build the trust, transparency, and verification mechanisms that open systems need to function at scale?
Technology for Inclusion & Equity
How can digital infrastructure and open technologies be designed to expand access, reduce barriers, and ensure more equitable participation in learning, livelihoods, and public services?
Systems Thinking, Adaptability & Human Agency
How do we design resilient, people-centered systems that foster adaptability, continuous learning, and individual agency—especially in a world increasingly shaped by automation, AI, and platform dynamics?
