Dhanmanjiri believes that the prism of political economy as a methodology to study India is rigorous, and it is most insightful. She reckons that results from such analysis are most meaningful and have policy implications. Her current research is in this domain. For her, a classroom–including the teacher–is one of the most egalitarian places in the world. She makes sure that every student learns something new in each class she teaches. She likes to reach in a jolly and humorous mood, as she thinks that learning is the best when it is fun.

Understanding society is very essential if one wants to be a good person and a good economist, she feels. This, she thinks, comes from fieldwork, reading creative literature, following newspapers, watching films and theatre, and engaging with different kinds of people around you.

She is never too busy for a cup of coffee!
