Aishwarya comes from Bengal, a region shaped by the history of the colonially imposed partition along what we know as the India-Bangladesh border now. This belonging informs how she sees the world and the work she does. For the past seven years, Aishwarya has worked in the impact sector, focusing on state interventions to address social challenges in emerging markets. Now, as a researcher, she studies how climate change and extreme heat affect miners in small towns, making their jobs even harder and more dangerous. She aims to understand how regulatory frameworks can be improved to protect workers and promote multilevel equities.
