Sahil's professional experience includes working as an assistant professor at the University of Delhi for three years, serving as a research associate at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy for a year, and interning at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, for three months before joining the University of Surrey in 2019. In September 2021, he successfully completed the Fund Internship Program at the International Monetary Fund, Washington, DC.

Sahil's research interests revolve around behavioral New-Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, focusing on monetary and fiscal policy for both closed and open economies. His doctoral thesis focuses on bounded rational expectations in standard Open economy New Keynesian models to study the monetary policy and exchange rate dynamics. His work shows that the inclusion of boundedly rational agents significantly mitigates many "puzzling" aspects of the relationship between exchange rates and interest rates.
