Pallavi Choudhuri is a Senior Fellow and the Deputy Director at the NCAER-National Data Innovation Center (NDIC). Her primary research interests are in the areas of social protection, informality, poverty, employment, and gender. Previously, at NDIC, she has led experiments on measurement gaps in income and consumption data and women’s paid and unpaid work.

Her work has been published in both international and domestic journals, along with contributions to Indian (English language) newspapers. She is the lead editor of the book, “India’s Social and Economic Transformation in the 21st Century”, an edited volume of articles using data from various rounds of the IHDS, published by Routledge (2023).
She is an active member of several national and international organizations in economics and demography and has also served on government committees during my work at NCAER.
