She has worked at Loyola Institute of Social Science Training and Research (LISSTAR), Loyola College, Chennai as Research Fellow, and as a Researcher for the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) funded research project on ​‘Precarity and Covid’. She completed her doctoral research in Women’s Studies from Madras Institute of Development Studies (MIDS), Chennai, Tamil Nadu. 

She has a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.

She anchors her research around Women and Work in the context of Gender and Development. Her doctoral thesis critically analyses the work choices of urban poor women working in the informal sector. Mapping various informal sector works among women in an informal settlement named ​‘Kallukuttai’ in Chennai, her analysis reveals the influence of various dimensions including caste location, gender roles, lifecycle events, and spatial context in women’s work choices. 

She critically examines the development framework through the lens of gender to understand the significance of women’s work (both paid and unpaid). By bringing in various crucial aspects of caste, class, gender, and spatial dimension in the specific context of India, her work tries to understand what ​‘Development’ means at these intersections. 

She engages with various social groups and movements, and actively conducts gender sensitisation workshops. She is also interested in watching films.
