ABSTRACT

I live in Singapore and am studying Computer Science at NUS. I have grown up in Singapore and Bengaluru. I have a few key projects ongoing: I write a blog called Bretton Goods that is about economic growth and the ingredients required for it. I also host a podcast by the same name where I interview experts on it and related topics.

Some of my best blogposts are found here on my substack. You can also scroll through my podcast to see episodes you will enjoy.



Outside of these pursuits I am a huge Yes Minister fan, and a masala dosa enjoyer. If you're ever in Singapore, hit me up and I'll be glad to meet!


Keywords: Economics, dosa, "Yes, Minister", Singapore.
