Harshini brings with her a multidisciplinary background in public policy, global health, and social research and is supporting the Nutrition and LSFF teams. She holds a Master of Public Policy in Social Policy and Social Innovation from Sciences Po, Paris, where she researched the impact of internal migration on child health in India.

Harshini first joined GHS as an intern in 2021, building a strong foundation in global health advocacy. Prior to her Master’s, she also gained experience in policy research at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress and in media and communications at NDTV. In 2024, she strengthened her advocacy skills at Rare Diseases International in Paris, where she supported global advocacy initiatives at WHA77. Harshini returned to GHS in October 2024 bringing with her experience across policy research and communications.

Her two years in Paris also left her with a working knowledge of French, enough to hold her own in a conversation, and more than enough to order un croissant.
