Ananye completed his Masters in Law and Development from Azim Premji University in 2022. He has been working in the area of child rights and right to education as a part of DEVISE (Developing Inclusive Education) Charitable Trust since 2018. He believes that education needs to be understood as a cooperative and empathetic process going above and beyond the standardised model which excludes a large section of society. Similarly, it is his view that law needs to step down from dictating how society should be and should try to understand how society actually is. His academic and field experience have driven him to be a holistic socio-legal researcher.
