Carnegie
India, the sixth international center of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, opened in April 2016 in New Delhi. As with Carnegie’s
centers in Beijing, Beirut, Brussels, Moscow, and Washington, Carnegie India is
staffed and led by local experts who collaborate extensively with colleagues
around the world.
The
center’s research and programmatic focus include the political economy of
reform in India, foreign and security policy, and the role of innovation and
technology in India’s internal transformation and international relations.
My
experience at Carnegie has been full of learnings and challenges. The environment here is quite
relaxed, friendly and comfortable yet it taught me how to behave in the
workplace. There is easy access to everyone in the organization, there
is no kind of hierarchy which one needs to follow to meet/talk anyone. Simply working in the office and
getting used to everything here has definitely prepared me for whatever my next
position may be. Just observing the everyday events has taught me more about
teamwork, and how people can come together to get things done.
I have been assigned all kinds of work
from filling data in the organization’s database to giving assistance in
research. Being a research intern, my major work was to assist in research at
Carnegie. The research assistance to different researchers demanded me to read
thoroughly various topics like uranium exports from Central Asian countries,
investments Russia has put in south Asian countries,etc hence this led to an
enhancement of my knowledge in various fields. This also helped me in
understanding and learning how research is done, data collection and all other
aspects of research. The regular events which take place here give the
opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and learn on subjects which
they expertise in.
It has been a very fruitful experience at
Carnegie. And I wish to be associated with them in the long run.
