Soumyanetra is currently an associate professor at the Economic Research Unit (ERU), Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata. Previously she has held faculty positions at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR) Mumbai and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB).
 
She has been an outstanding student and a topper throughout, topping the state of Orissa from Ravenshaw College Cuttack with record marks in the Higher Secondary Examination. She completed her schooling from Loreto Day School Bowbazar, her Bachelor’s in Economics (Hons.) from Presidency College and Master’s from ISI Kolkata. She earned her doctorate in Economics from Rutgers, the state University of New Jersey, USA.
 
Even though she’s a trained economist, she has always been a passionate lover of English and has been composing in various genres since childhood. In fact, even though she was a doctoral student of Economics at Rutgers, she had the privilege of teaching undergraduate courses in English at Rutgers (which ranks amongst the best English departments in the USA).  She has two collections of poems, “You’re the Mecca I never want to visit” (2019), “Que Sera, Sera” (2022), and a collection short stories titled “How Long’s a Day” (2021) to her credit, all of which have been very well-received. She is also a Winner of Asian Literary Society’s Wordsmith Award Contest 2020 (English Poetry) for her poem “An Elegy for the Unborn”. She represented English in Sahitya Akademi’s Young Writer’s Meet in May 2021.
 
She is also a passionate Bharat Natyam dancer.
