Ashish Sedai is an economist dedicated to human welfare and addressing deep-seated societal problems, particularly in development and health. His work reflects a commitment to understanding the everyday challenges people face, focusing on topics like the cost of unpaid care and late-life depression. He applies his skills by running real-world experiments (RCTs) and observational analysis to find practical ways to reduce inequality and empower vulnerable groups, such as examining if banking access can decrease domestic violence or how infrastructure boosts women's autonomy.
