Dear Scholar,
Let me ask you something—are you familiar with terms like the anchoring effect, endowment effect, licensing effect, hyperbolic discounting, choice overload, loss aversion, status quo bias, or the availability heuristic?
These are no longer just psychological curiosities. Today, they sit at the heart of assessments conducted by embassies, UN agencies, and firms like McKinsey, Dalberg, and BCG. They’re also shaping the direction of academic and policy research at the global level.
If these concepts feel unfamiliar—or if you’ve heard them but never explored them in depth—I’d love to invite you to a 2-Day Online Crash Course on Research Skills that I’m personally leading on July 14–15, from 7–9 PM IST each day.
Over the years, in my roles as researcher, peer-reviewer, mentor, and educator, I’ve spoken to countless students and early-career scholars across India and abroad. One thing that comes up again and again is this quiet, persistent question:
“I’m passionate about research… but I don’t know where or how to begin.”
So many of us are driven by curiosity and the desire to contribute—but our institutions often fail to give us the tools, the space, or the confidence to do that meaningfully.
If you’ve ever felt:
- unsure about how to frame a research question,
- lost in academic jargon,
- overwhelmed by publishing pressures,
or even - uncertain about whether your research ideas are enough—
This course is for you.
Whether you’re:
an undergraduate just starting out, a master’s student aiming to publish, or a PhD researcher seeking a reset or recharge—
This masterclass will help you reclaim the joy of research and build the clarity, skills, and confidence to move forward.
The course poster is attached for details.
I hope you’ll join us. It would be wonderful to learn and grow together.
