Work will be scoped through a written consulting agreement and/or statement of work that defines deliverables, timelines, and payment terms.

Position Responsibilities

Lead the production and delivery of short-form client deliverables (e.g., research notes, briefing decks, email alerts) and contribute to longer-form research outputs, in line with agreed scopes and timelines.
Design, conduct, and oversee the execution of rigorous economic and policy analysis tailored to corporate audiences on a range of India-related topics.

A minimum of five (5) years of professional experience (not inclusive of internships) performing research on India to support decision-makers in government, business, or think tanks.
Demonstrated understanding of India’s economy and macroeconomic policies, India-world trade and investment trends, geopolitical dynamics, technology and industrial policy, supply chain diversification, and regulatory trends influencing India’s economic engagement with the world.
Excellent research and data analysis skills with the ability to lead the production of clear and accurate reports of research results. Ability to synthesize policy developments and/or economic data into succinct and compelling stories.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present information clearly and concisely through memos, reports, briefings, and other deliverables.
