Sreya Majumder

Sreya has completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Research Methods and a Bachelor’s in Economics from Ashoka University. After graduating, she worked at the Centre for Development Economics (Delhi School of Economics) on research projects studying the intersection of caste and allocation of public goods in India. Subsequently, she worked at the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) India, where she collaborated closely with The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi to conceptualize and implement vehicular pollution and congestion abatement policies. Over the summer, Sreya interned with the Rapid Social Response Trust Fund team in the Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice at the World Bank. She led independent portfolio analyses to identify mechanisms to maximize the extent to which the 30-billion-dollar WBG social protection portfolio can improve food and nutrition outcomes for the most vulnerable. In the future, she envisions working at the intersection of research and policy implementation. She aspires to work with multi‐national development institutions to lead policy at the grassroots level, strengthen local institutions, and empower communities to improve resource allocation.
