Shreyash Baranwal

Growing up in Bhadohi, one of India’s major rug export hubs, Shreyash saw this world differently—a world of artisans whose handmade rugs are celebrated in different countries, yet rarely receive recognition for their skill. He has completed his undergraduate degree in Economics with a keen interest in studying the intersection of the labour market and gender. Going further, he wants to study policymaking and the effects of policies on on-ground realities and how it impacts the general public. Outside academics, he has a keen interest in organizing events, dance, and exploring different genres (making him realize there is so much yet to explore).
