Anusha Nadkarni

Anusha Nadkarni is a B.A./M.A. student in Public Policy ('27) focusing on Development and Growth Policies. She is also a double minor in Global Studies and Human Rights, with a particular focus on issues related to South Asia, gender-based violence, international human rights law, and comparative democratic development. Her prior experience working as a nonprofit leader in student-led antiracist education implementation informs her restorative, culturally responsive, and empirically-informed approach to international equity issues.

Anusha's past engagement with these interests includes spending a summer working in Mumbai's courts, an internship analyzing development bank violations of human rights at the Accountability Counsel, and a Student Fellowship with the Huntington Program for Strengthening U.S.-India Relations at the Hoover Institution. In her personal life, Anusha loves to hike, spend time with her loved ones (including a very cute cat), and play the guitar.
