Over the years—through engagements with policymakers, industry bodies, and discussions around logistics reform and institutional frameworks — @arunpanditunplugged, Co-founder of @hyphenscs, has often reflected on one powerful truth.
Public policy is not distant. It is deeply personal.
As National Chairman of the @aimaylc at @aima.india, @arunpanditunplugged is honoured to chair an important virtual session titled "Public Policy & Nation-Building: Why Young Leaders Must Engage.
Dr. Shubhashis Gangopadhyay is not just a scholar of public policy—he is an exponent of it. His distinguished roles include:
• Research Director, India Development Foundation
• Director, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, @shivnadaruniv
• Visiting Professor, @universityofgothenburg
• PhD in Economics from @cornelluniversity
• Former Professor, Indian Statistical Institute
During the global financial crisis, he served as Advisor to the @finminindia, contributing to critical economic decision-making at a time when clarity, courage, and deep structural insight were essential.
Today, he continues to contribute actively to India’s policy ecosystem:
• Advisor to the Competition Commission of India
• Chief Editor, Journal of Emerging Market Finance
• Author and editor of numerous influential books referenced widely across academic and policy circles.
His work bridges theory and implementation—academia and governance—insight and impact.
Key themes we will explore include:
• Why youth engagement is critical for India’s long-term development
• How young leaders can influence public policy constructively
• What barriers limit youth participation in governance
