Testimonials And Reviews

What our Delegates have to say about us

Deshna Suryanarayanan

Goonj Fellow | PET 2020 Delegate
"I think the course gave me a lot to think about emerging technologies...how to look at public policy in this aspect and gave a cultural angle to the same. I personally felt it was enriching. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to get thinking about tech policy and venture into it.

Vignesh Venkatachalam

Masters in Computational Analysis, UChicago | PET 2020 Delegate
"The eight methods of framing Technology Policy were very well collated. I appreciate the deepdive into philosophy of technology and Dharma of Tech. The course does a good job of bringing out the lack of coherence in the Tech Policy space in India, which in turn acts as an immediate action item for all course participants.
