My research mainly concerns issues in policy and institutional development in the areas of pro-poor financial services, rural innovation, women and development, and livelihoods. I have been a keen participant in the discourse on Indian micro finance since the late 1990s through research studies and policy critiques. I am particularly interested in understanding the working of finance capital at the margins of the economy and explore the moral-social aspects of the deepening interactions between finance and livelihoods. I co-authored the Micro finance State of the Sector Report 2013 and the Inclusive Finance India Report 2014. I have also edited a volume of essays titled, Micro finance in India: Approaches, Outcomes and Challenges, published by Routledge India (2015). My current research is on examining the social economy around primary value chains and the implications of financialisation for the household economy of the poor.

we plan to bring out as part of the Gujarat regional component of the
Dried Fish Matters research project. In this paper, we review some of
the major policies and institutional arrangements that are critical for
understanding the social economy of fisheries, especially marine
fisheries, in the state. The paper is divided into two sections. In section
one, we present a brief overview of the trajectory of the evolution
of fisheries sector policies at the national level since they
broadly define the context of our discussion. In section two, we will
elaborate on the Gujarat case. Our focus here will be to interrogate
the broader philosophy that guides Gujarat’s approach to fisheries
development in recent years.
