Pavitra Kanagaraj

I’m an economist with research interests at the intersection of macroeconomics, climate, and finance. 

Until Summer 2025, I worked as a Consultant at the Centre for Analytical Finance, Indian School of Business, where I contributed to the Vision 2047 document for the Government of Telangana.

Before that, I was a data journalist at Hindustan Times in Delhi, covering topics related to the economy, gender, crime, and politics. I’ve also worked on research projects with UNESCAP (Macroeconomic Policy and Financing for Development), the Indian Statistical Institute, and the Centre for Civil Society.

I hold an MSc in Macroeconomic Policy and Financial Markets from the Barcelona School of Economics, an MA in Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and a BA (Hons) in Economics from the University of Delhi.
