Community Updates💌
The PPI Community in Bangalore held a successful Public Policy & Social Impact meet-up in person on the 27th of July. The aim is to provide policy enthusiasts with a space to discuss and debate their interests!
Cubbon Park, Bangalore 📍
All our communities are free to join, open to everyone and are continuously growing and evolving to maximise the opportunities and awareness about policy and careers in this broader space that we can create in cities across India’s 20 most vibrant cities.
The idea is to organise regular in-person meet-ups, workshops and other career activities around the year to help you grow and learn. Most knowledge in the broader public policy and social impact space resides with individuals, and is not institutionally captured. Knowledge transfer occurs most effectively when one gets to meet others :)
Do join and consider spreading the word so we can collectively help grow this space in your city and in India overall in the months and years to come!
