Millennium Fellowship Project: The Data, Development and Policy Lab
The Data, Development and Policy Lab is a new-age think tank focused on utilising data-based analytics to create interventions and policy proposals which can be implemented at local and eventually national levels. The aim of this project has been to help me, as a founder, navigate my vision for the DDP Lab and gain the requisite skills necessary to grow this organisation into what it can be. I have taken up training in data science, climate studies, developmental economics and collaborated on projects as part of seperate organisations to work with impact based startups and apply some of the methodologies I have developed as part of DDP Lab for them.
