It gives me an opportunity to reflect my academic interests and commitment to to exploring topics ranging from culture, politics, and various geographies in India and Latin America (one of my key interests). These works help me make a thoughtful analysis of ongoing conversations in varying fields and tackling complex questions through evidence and constant questioning.

Abstract
A Comparative Policy Analysis on Women’s Empowerment and Its Impact on GDP in India and Latin America
This paper presents a comparative analysis of women-centric policy measures in India and three Latin American countries - Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia - highlighting their role in promoting women's empowerment and driving economic growth.
Through a mixed-methods approach leveraging secondary data, the study explores labour force participation, wage disparities, maternal health, and education indicators to assess gender equality outcomes.
Despite differences in socio-political structures, these nations face common challenges such as income inequality, violence against women, and limited representation in leadership.
The findings underscore the gaps between policy intent and on-ground impact, revealing that economic development alone does not ensure gender parity.
The paper concludes by outlining cross-country policy lessons and suggesting targeted interventions, such as STEM education, financial inclusion, reproductive rights, and gender-responsive budgeting, as catalysts for both social equity and GDP enhancement in developing economies.
