The following session convenes funders with experience and goals to fund new economic thinking, research, and alternative methods. It involves engaging with panelists from within the philanthropy space to discuss various approaches, development, and interest towards new economic thinking, from outside the academic space. This session would look to understand the stakeholders mobilised by funding, the Indian landscape (or lack of) for this kind of funding, and learning from the experiences of funders globally to take away insights that can be potentially adapted to India and the Global South.
