I am glad that in my current position I can contribute to shaping IGIDR’s strategies for the future. If I was asked to describe Prof. Parikh’s approach to research in one sentence, it would be: “Focus on the details, never losing sight of the big picture”.
The balance between micro and macro, between individual drivers and aggregate outcomes, was visible in a lot of the research that was carried out at the institute during my time here and it is an approach that I have found most useful in applied research.
