For over a decade, I've been at the crossroads of finance and tech. GCPP (Tech and Policy) offered a deep dive into policy, regulation, and ethics within tech. Despite being online, Takshashila excelled in delivering engaging webinars and workshops with experienced professionals. The course equipped me with actionable tools and frameworks, and introduced me to a diverse cohort, enriching our discussions with varied insights.

The GCPP (APP) programme at Takshashila is meticulously designed and intended for deeply committed individuals. Apart from the comprehensive and rigorous curriculum, I got to interact with participants from diverse backgrounds each with their own political beliefs. It adopts a comprehensive approach to public policy and policy communication, making it suitable for those with or without prior subject knowledge. I particularly enjoyed the policy simulation and collaborative activities. Amidst this experience, a key takeaway was not to let our politics dictate our policy, but to let the facts lead you, and package the solution intelligently for stakeholders.

GCPP (D&FA) is a unique course carefully designed by highly knowledgeable and experienced faculty. It covers a wide range of topics relevant to the present global environment. Exercise AMRUT has been thoughtfully embedded in the course, which helps better understand policy-making & defence analysis.

I work at the crossroads of technology and policy. Taking the GCPP (TP) greatly aided my grasp of fundamental public policy principles and their practical implementations in real-world situations. The faculty's willingness to listen to diverse student perspectives and engage in open dialogues was remarkable. I consistently apply these concepts in my daily work. I wholeheartedly endorse this course.

The past 7 weeks have been an intense, fun and enriching experience where policy enthusiasts like me, from different backgrounds, have had the opportunity to learn from each other. The course is very well curated and taught by an amazing faculty. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in science, public policy and the way the two interact with each other.

Being an intellectual property rights and data privacy lawyer and an alumna of the Columbia Business School, NY, this course has helped me consolidate my professional learnings and propel my focus on Public Policy. I strongly recommend this course to people who are keen to understand the roots of change-making, which contributes to nation-building.

Takshashila isn't your typical think tank. It empowers participants to embrace a 360-degree perspective and champion holistic thinking. By urging them to anticipate what's beyond the immediate horizon, Takshashila seamlessly integrates public policy, strategy, and results. In the D&FA programme, the 'AMRUT' crisis simulation challenges participants, expanding their cognitive boundaries and unravelling both internal and external intricacies.
