Akankasha Choudhary works with the workers of the thermal power plants in Rajasthan at Centre for Energy, Environment & People (CEEP), a Jaipur-based research advocacy organisation. She researches on labour, migration, and gender, exploring how labour and women navigate spaces, technology, and freedom.
