Dhriti is a Research Analyst in the International Cooperation team at the Council. Her work involves supporting strategic research and stakeholder engagement at the intersections of public policy, sustainability, the global governance of energy and resources and multilateral cooperation.

Previously, she has worked across two parliamentary systems – at the Parliament of New South Wales, Australia, and at the Office of a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Winter Session 2024 of Lok Sabha. Her experience spans core legislative functions including, but not limited to, policy research, facilitating public hearings as well as drafting official reports and critical parliamentary interventions.

Dhriti holds a Masters in International Relations with a Political Economy specialisation from the University of Sydney, where she was awarded the prestigious Sydney Scholars India Scholarship.

Alongside her academics, she pursued her passion for creative writing as National Content Head at Youth India Foundation and explored editorial work at the United Religions Initiative (UN ECOSOC consultative status).

On a personal note, Dhriti enjoys aesthetic journaling, doodling, and curating Pinterest-coded ideas. A devoted coffee lover, she’s fervent about exploring brewing techniques and discovering the perfect blend. Her guilty pleasure? Binge-watching shows with a bowl of instant noodles — a true fine dining experience in her eyes.
