As a sociology researcher, I specialise in exploring the intersections of technology, society, and identities. My academic journey includes presenting papers at prestigious international platforms, such as the XX ISA World Congress in Melbourne and the 19th IUAES-WAU Anthropology World Congress in Delhi. I actively contribute to the academic community as assistant secretary at the Ethnographic and Folk Culture Society, Lucknow, and I organise major conferences. My research interests span digital sociology and identity studies.
