Arun Jyothi is an experienced consultant with history working within government and in non-profit organisations to evaluate key public sector programs.
Arun began her career as a public servant in 2019, serving in the Telangana State government (India) for four years. During this time, she supported the Planning, Education and Finance Secretaries with the implementation and evaluation of education programs targeting students from low-income families in India.
During this time, she collaborated with international researchers from Harvard and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to assess the impact of learning loss caused by COVID-induced school closures and to evaluate the long-term life outcomes of students in welfare residential institutions.
More recently, Arun worked with the Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), a global research centre, where she led a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate a large-scale school leadership program, providing evidence on how enhancing school leadership qualities can improve student learning.
Arun has experience in designing human resource allocation strategies to meet the needs of State Governments in India. She has also contributed to techniques that improve the accuracy of area and yield estimates for agricultural crops.
Arun's education has provided deep expertise in randomized and quasi-randomized evaluation methods, associated data analysis techniques, policy design and empirical methods, as well as the application of economic models to real-world scenarios.
Arun's consulting work leverages her expertise in policy development and implementation gained from her public service experience, combined with her skills in policy evaluation and impact evaluation design. With a strong background in statistics and applied econometrics, Arun excels in policy design, implementation and rigorous monitoring and evaluation.
