“For as long as I’ve been thinking about pursuing something in economics, I’ve always thought of it in theoretical terms. But based on what I’ve experienced and how it’s been taught to me, I wouldn’t mind going into a data-centred field as well. Maybe econometrics rather than economics.”

“Professor Arora and Bharti Ma’am were so amazing that I actually looked forward to the classes every weekend. I didn’t want to make other plans. They made the classes really engaging and were very supportive and patient with us. They listened to every single one of us whenever we had something to share, which made the overall experience very welcoming.”
