PPI's first course: careers and policymaking in India

A recorded masterclass for anyone who wants to build a career in the public policy and social impact space, and to understand how policymaking really works in India. It brings together what we have learnt from years of teaching, convening and building the PPI community.

What it covers

About three hours, in nine short chapters

Watch it at your own pace on PPI's learning platform. The chapters move from the careers on offer to how decisions actually get made.

Careers

The field and your place in it

The careers on offer, from government to think tanks to multilaterals, and how people actually get into them.

How it works

How policy is made in India

How policy actually gets made in India, where today's institutions came from, and the technical craft behind a good policy.

Lessons

What India got right, and wrong

Where India has done well, where it has gone wrong, and what other countries can teach us, with the practices that make the difference.
