PhD Candidate, Public Policy, at IIT Bombay

Enmeshed in digital spaces, our lives in today’s world are, to varying degrees, defined in ways and terms of algorithms. Intrigued, as a student of politics and policy, I explore computer-mediated discourses, policy considerations, and the digital public sphere vis-à-vis the evolving technological affordances, focusing on the intricacies of the interface between the internet, society, and politics.
