We integrate multiple datasets (household survey data, firm data, macroeconomic and financial time-series, satellite imagery, legal systems data, other custom datasets) to obtain insights into the world aiming for academic research and real world applications. Along the way, we innovate on methods. Here are some examples: self reported health, informational efficiency of credit ratings, the working of financial markets, improved methods for nighttime lights radiance satellite imagery. We build open source packages in Julia and R, partly to do better computation around existing methods, and partly to express our innovations in statistical and computational methods.
We care more about knowledge and passion, and less about the credentialism. High levels of intrinsic motivation are essential.
The remuneration offered will be commensurate with your skill and experience and will be comparable with what is found in the Indian research ecosystem.
