My experience as an intern with IFMR LEAD in 2009 was instrumental in motivating me to join the organization as a Research Associate in 2010. Once I stepped in as a permanent employee, there was so much to explore and learn. IFMR LEAD strengthens your foundation as a researcher, and subsequently, offers you a platform to share your thoughts and ideas within the organization, and to policy makers and practitioners. In addition to providing standardized and quality frameworks and resources to work with, it gives you scope to be innovative with the existing pool of knowledge, information, and data to eventually learn for yourself.
If you are an aspiring academician or social researcher and are sensitive towards the issues of development, then IFMR LEAD is the place to be. It offers you an opportunity to grow as a researcher, a manager, an analyst, and an economist while working with experts from the sector and renowned academia across the globe. I am really happy and proud to be a part of such a young and dynamic organization that respects intellect, nurtures talent, and delivers quality output in every respect.
