Most of her work has been in understanding the housing ecosystem in informal settlements: the multiplicity of stakeholders, the dynamics that they are affected by, and their access to housing finance. At IIHS, she is working on visualising and tracing incrementality in informal settlements relating to choices and construction practices in self-built homes. She was Project Coordinator with mHS City Lab prior to joining IIHS. Her fieldwork was across informal settlements in Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Indore, and particularly Delhi. It involved interviewing masons, home owners, housing finance companies, material suppliers, and other actors in the network of housing.
