Public Policy India (PPI) is seeking candidates for the post of Research and Communications Associate. ThePolicyGram is an initiative by the same team that also runs Public Policy India (https://publicpolicyindia.com) and Proficy (https://proficy.co.in).
About PPI
PPI is passionate about expanding the overall pie of Public Policy in India – getting more individuals here, more institutions, jobs, awareness etc. because Public Policy matters.
Hence we work across all 4 verticals of Content + Awareness (The PolicyGram), Careers (Public Policy India), Community (Policy Sphere) and Capacity Building/Consulting (Proficy). We started 4 years back as an integrated platform i.e. PPI and have grown and expanded these past few years into the different institutions highlighted above while also building India’s largest and most dynamic policy community along the way!
The PolicyGram and PPI are now expanding and we’re looking to add a full-time team member to help us out with that growth in the role of a Research and Communications associate.
