In this session of The Conversation Series, Professor Ajay Shah, Research Professor of Business, Jindal Global Business School, and Professor Ravi Miglani, Professor of Practice of Management, Director, GEMBA Programme, Ahmedabad University, discuss ‘The Art And Science Of Policy Making: At The Intersection Of Economics And Politics’. They deliberate how the government should design effective policy to avoid such pitfalls. They analyse two recent interventions by the Indian government – the botched rollout of the farm laws and the inefficient procurement and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines – as case studies to explain what went wrong and what we can learn.
