Some such institutions are Research and Information System for Developing Countries (Delhi), Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Mumbai), Indian Statistical Institute (Kolkata), India Development Foundation (Gurgaon), Institute for Social and Economic Change (Bangalore), etc. Standard Chartered Bank, HDFC Bank, other firms committed to financial forecasting and analysis have also taken interns from our M.
