The Role 

Market Economics Analyst – an economic and policy design expert driving India’s energy transition. 

  • Primary focus: Evaluating market structures, consumer behavior, technology adoption pathways, and financing mechanisms to enable a low-carbon, resilient energy system.

  • Model and simulate alternative market design scenarios, drawing insights from global best practices. 

2. Behavioral Economics & Consumer Insights 

  • Analyze consumer and prosumer participation in markets (e.g., demand response, distributed generation, EV adoption). 
  • Design and evaluate behavioral interventions (nudges, dynamic pricing, participation incentives) to accelerate clean energy adoption. 
  • Integrate socio-economic factors into market models for inclusive policy design. 

3. Technology Assessment & Economic Viability 

  • Evaluate emerging technologies (energy storage, hydrogen, distributed solar, digital platforms) for cost, scalability, and integration challenges. 
  • Quantify system-wide economic impacts of technology adoption under different policy and market scenarios.

5. Policy Engagement & Knowledge Sharing 

  • Co-create market design proposals and policy reforms with regulators, utilities, and stakeholders. 
  • Prepare economic modelling, behavioral analysis, and financing inputs for reports, briefs, and regulatory filings. 
  • Engage with policymakers, financing institutions, and industry partners to align research with implementation.  

Qualifications

  • Strong quantitative skills with expertise in Python, R, STATA, or similar data/behavioral modelling tools. 
  • Deep understanding of electricity market economics, regulatory frameworks, and technology cost assessments. 
  • Ability to translate complex market and behavioral research into clear, actionable policy insights.
