Policy People Podcast: Transforming Indian Policy with Prateek Kanwal

How is public policy taught? What's behind India’s policy brain drain? Can gender gaps in schools be closed? Why is a Master of Public Policy the ‘new MBA'? How does policy scale? All these and more.
Prateek Kanwal

Welcome to the Policy People Podcast. In this conversation I explore how new education solutions are transforming India’s policy ecosystem with Prateek Kanwal. We discuss the hype around policy careers in India, the merits of MPPs over MBAs, the gaps in the country’s think tank ecosystem, the barriers to girl’s schooling and women’s education, solutions to India’s policy brain drain, how to scale the social impact of policy and many more topics.
