But our alum Atharva Deshmukh is different. His achievements lie in the field where he had already done exemplary work during his time at the Jindal School of International Affairs (JSIA). The 2018 graduate interned at Miktat Advisory Services and Qrius and then went on to work as a Research Associate at the World Trade Center in Mumbai before getting back to academia last year, in an MSc in International Political Economy program at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He works there  part-time as a junior analyst at Global Risk Insights which is a political risk advisory firm founded by LSE alumni in London. His work focuses on emerging economies, financial markets and commodity prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/atharva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.jgu.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/atharva.jpg 415w, https:\/\/archive.jgu.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/atharva-300x279.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr.\nDeshmukh is an \u201caspiring political economist with an avid interest in\neconomics, trade, and politics\u201d which is why he took up this program. At LSE he\nis a part of the LSE Political Risk and Investment Society and student\nactivities are something he has always reveled in. The erstwhile President of\nthe student council at JSIA founded the magazine \u2018Meraki\u2019. He was also the\nChief Editor of the magazine that still gives students a platform to express\ntheir creativity and imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nhis quest for learning and first-hand experience took him well beyond the\ncampus. Mr. Deshmukh\u2019s work with the research centers at JSIA helped him gain\npractical knowledge and experience in Delhi, Bhutan, and Assam. He also studied\nat Leiden University, Netherlands for a semester. His involvement as a member\nof the Indian Youth Delegation for the Youth Summit on One Belt One Road took\nhim to China. It was an opportunity to gain insights into the Chinese\ninitiative to revive the Silk Route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\nhis field research towers above all. Mr. Deshmukh has trekked through the mountains\nof Kashmir to trace social entrepreneurship in the valley. He spent the summer\nof 2017 in Kenya learning how the horticulture industry could integrate\nSustainable Development Goal (SDG) frameworks in private sector operations. The\nresearch led to a paper on Kenya\u2019s blossoming floriculture industry. His second\npublication \u2018What Trump&#8217;s Trade War Tells Us About Globalisation\u2019 was\nintriguing and certainly raised curiosity levels of policymakers and academics\nalike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s\nAtharva Deshmukh for you. Curious, passionate, dedicated, one who doesn\u2019t shy\naway from taking the initiative and rising to responsibilities \u2013 a true leader\nin the making. The mind goes back to that medal of leadership he won during his\nConvocation. It could well be a prophecy he is destined to fulfill. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winning a Gold Medal for academic excellence and a medal for leadership from none other than the Vice President of India would be the crowning glory for any graduate.
