A conversation with the Indus Action group

Indus Action (https://www.indusaction.org/about) describes itself as a do-tank and not just a think-tank in the development sector. It is run by young professionals with the aim of improving policy implementation and narrow the gap between law and action. They approached me for a conversation on some recent work I have done on income transfers. I was interviewed by Siddharth Premkumar on November 20, 2020.

It was a stimulating conversation - the link to the recording is below.

When I was asked what general advice I had for them at the very end, I had to think hard about what to say that would go beyond the usual platitudes (the last 7 minutes of the clip). Perhaps I will write something on this at some point.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-y-4ZPD4Rk&feature=emb_logo
