Education

Arjun completed his doctoral studies at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Kharagpur, specializing in labour market economics. His PhD research, titled Gender and Caste Disparity on Employment and Wages: Evidence from Formal Labor Markets in India, was supervised by Dr. Inder Sekhar Yadav and drew on extensive datasets and econometric techniques. Prior to this, he earned a Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Hyderabad, where he began exploring themes around inequality and structural exclusion. His foundational training in economics was acquired during his undergraduate studies at Kerala University. Through these institutions, he developed a robust understanding of economic theory, research methodology, and socio-political frameworks necessary for interpreting complex labour issues.

Experience

During his time at IIT Kharagpur, Arjun worked as a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Econometrics, Public Policy, and Financial Management. In this capacity, he contributed to curriculum support, conducted tutorial sessions, clarified concepts in doubt-clearance classes, and graded student assignments. Additionally, he mentored students and helped foster analytical thinking. Beyond IIT, he also served as a Resource Person at Sree Narayana College, Kollam (affiliated with Kerala University), where he conducted a seminar on research methodology for postgraduate economics students. His experience further extends into academic peer reviewing, having evaluated manuscripts for interdisciplinary journals under the Nature Portfolio, thereby contributing to scholarly quality assurance and editorial processes.

Research Interests

Arjun’s research interests lie at the intersection of labour economics, development studies, and public policy. His work critically examines wage inequality, employment outcomes, and access disparities across gender, caste, and educational qualifications. He employs advanced econometric tools and original datasets to explore these issues, particularly within India’s formal and rapidly digitizing sectors. Additionally, he investigates how social identities and institutional frameworks affect labour market dynamics and the quality of employment. His broader research also spans human capital formation, the impact of technological change on work structures, and the role of education in shaping equitable economic development. Recent work also delves into scientometrics and gender disparities in academic publishing.

Awards and Achievements

Arjun has several notable achievements to his credit. He qualified for the UGC-NET for Assistant Professorship in December 2018. His scholarly contributions have been recognized through publications in reputable journals such as Labour & Industry, Review of Social Economy, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Humanities and Social Sciences Communication, and Scientometrics. His paper presentations at prominent academic forums include the American Economic Association (AEA) Annual Meeting, the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), the India Management Research Conference (IMRC) at IIM Ahmedabad, and the Young Scholar Initiative (YSI) Festival at IIT Bombay. He has also presented at globally recognized platforms like the University of California Berkeley-Oxford Human Rights Hub Conference and the Sixth IGIDR Conversation on Research (CoRe), further affirming his engagement with both domestic and international academic communities.
