Editor’s Note ✍️
With the expanding avenues of careers in Public Policy, more and more people are stepping into the field and doing some amazing work. We spoke to one such person recently — Arindam Banerjee, Co-Founder and Partner, Policy and Development Advisory Group (PDAG) about his journey of building a policy consulting firm in India! Arindam, along with being the founder of PDAG, is also a Chevening Scholar and studied Public Policy, Strategic Communications & Research at the Blatnavik School of Government, University of Oxford. Watch the video to learn more about the opportunities that lie within the policy consulting space in India!
