From an interest in economics to building the confidence and skills to pursue research, Niranjan Jayakumar’s time at Ahmedabad University helped shape the economist he is today.
Part of the 2024–26 MA Economics cohort, today, he is a Research Associate at Inclusion Economics India Centre. At Ahmedabad University, Niranjanan explored different pathways in economics through coursework, internships, conferences, seminars, and reading groups.
What stayed with him most was the guidance and encouragement from his professors and the network he built along the way. “That support, along with the network I built here, helped me develop not just the technical skills needed for research, but also the confidence to take on opportunities and challenges I may not have pursued otherwise,” he said.
