Aditi Surie is a researcher and faculty member at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), where she leads the academic and policy research portfolio on technology, work, and society. Her work examines how digital labour platforms and emerging AI systems reshape livelihoods, worker well-being, and labour markets in India and the Global South. Since 2015, she has conducted extensive sectoral studies of platform workers that describe working conditions, risks, and the role of platform design in shaping worker agency and inclusion.

Her recent research extends to the future of work, digital public infrastructure, and the intersection of gender, informality, and AI—with an emphasis on how low-resource and women workers participate in and adapt to technological change. She co-edited Platformization and Informality (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023), which brings scholarship from the Global South into dialogue on the quality and governance of platform work.
