In December 2025, I was recognised as India’s next generation strategic thinker by India’s World and the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. I was among three Indians selected for this award after a competitive essay competition and jury interaction. My winning essay “Heads You Win, Tails I Lose: India At The Crosshairs Of Great-Power Tech Rivalry” is published online and in the print edition of India’s World magazine (Vol 2, Issue 1, January 2026).
