Covid -19 triggered interest in all 10 Economists, about the areas we have written about!
This book is about the cross section of time which was unique in global economies and in India! The Economists are of great expertise and have passionately delved into Indian Economy at the outbreak of the pandemic! It is a rare team effort of 10 Economists of varied seniority looking into 10 important aspects of Indian Economy at that time period! It is this outlook that makes the book a long run reference material about the theme!
It happened that I suggested that we have a webinar series about the theme to the HOD of Economics at Jain University Bangalore. He took it ahead till finish, with the complete support of his staff and students with impeccable efficiency. This innovativeness and efficiency is so well built into the infrastructure of Jain University by the Founder of the institution. It is a fortunate team effort of 10 Economist of varied seniority looking into 10 important aspects of Indian Economy at that time period!
