For 4 years, at the Imagine India Podcast, we have been listening to our changemakers and light-bringers imagine the India & world they dream of building. Now, it is time for us to share with you what our students and consortia members are doing to turn those dreams into a reality.

We’re excited to introduce Imagine India Fireside Chats—a new monthly series that takes you behind the scenes of impactful projects led by our students and consortia members. These conversations spotlight how knowledge is moving off the page and into real, on-ground action. Stay with us as these stories unfold.

For our first episode, we have with us, G. Ravikanth, Deepanjana Saha, and Sourya Das, who dive into the timely and critical theme of ecosystem valuation. They unpack what ecosystem valuation really means and explore how these ideas can be meaningfully integrated into policy and practice.
