Sachin Srivastava

I am a recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon University’s dual MS program in Technology Innovation Management and Public Policy. I graduated in December 2022 with Highest Distinction (Dean's List). My research interests are in productivity and innovation topics. Specifically, I study the impact of policy shifts on productivity and innovation at an individual and firm level.

Currently, I am examining:

• The effects of patent law reforms on inventive activity in the context of the Indian pharmaceutical industry (with Prof. Lee Branstetter).
• Long-run effects of changes in privacy legislation (with Prof. Alessandro Acquisti and Ryan Steed).
• The effects of high-skilled immigration on the vertical mobility of US-born workers (with Prof. Brian Kovak).

I graduated from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University with a Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018). I was born and raised in New Delhi, India.

I am an avid astrophotographer and a high-altitude trekker. I enjoy indulging in strategy games and outdoor sports, such as swimming, tennis, and badminton. I am also getting a Class “A” license in skydiving. My future goals include but are not limited to learning more languages, getting a private pilot license, and getting a scuba diving license.

Feel free to drop me an email or DM me on Twitter or Linkedin; I love making new friends and am always open to interesting conversations!
