Experience
Pooja Iyer is a Sociology Subject Editor at Collegedunia with seven years of education-writing experience following two years of field research with Mumbai-based NGOs on urban informal labour and gender. She specialises in Class 11 and 12 Sociology with a focus on Indian society — caste, family, rural-urban transitions — staying close to NCERT's framing while bringing concrete lived examples.

About the Author

She is a serious independent-cinema watcher (Payal Kapadia and Rima Das on her top-five), a long-distance Mumbai-Pune cyclist, and is working on a forthcoming essay collection on women's informal-sector work in Mumbai.
