My guest today is Vatsal Nahata, Research Analyst at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In our conversation, Vatsal talks about growing up in a middle class Marwadi community in Calcutta and the values he learned from his parents and grandparents. We also talk about his interest in the Indian civil service and his passion for economics, and Vatsal shares his inspiring story of how he utilized the power of social media to secure a job at the height of the pandemic.
