I am a PhD researcher<\/a> at King\u2019s College London funded with ESRC grant<\/a> (through LISS-DTP<\/a>), working on the political economy of domestic work, platformisation, and social reproduction in urban India. My research examines how digital platforms reorganise labour, reshape everyday life, and extend market relations to intimate and reproductive domains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Alongside my academic work, I am engaged in labour activism in India, collaborating with workers’ organisations and unions to confront precarity and informality in the platform economy. These engagements inform my research and seek to situate contemporary transformations of work within broader questions of inequality, class, and social reproduction.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
