I joined IIT Delhi in 2009, before which I did my PhD under Prof. S. Keshav and Prof. R. Cohen from the University of Waterloo. In 2009 I co-founded Gram Vaani, a social entrepreneurial venture to enable development through community media in rural areas of India. In 2019, my students and I have released a website to monitor biases in policy making in India: Giant Economy Monitor. My upcoming book reflects much of my learning gained over the last decade and a half on the relationship between technology, ethics, and social development. The preface and introduction are available here: Technology and (Dis)Empowerment: A Call to Technologists, feedback will be greatly appreciated. An extract from the book proposal about what the book is about, is here. |
