Framed by the Dynamic Vision of Poonam Kumari: Director-cum- Chairperson of Poonam Kumari Foundation and Co-founder of BNSK We are immensely honored to be guided by the dynamic and visionary leadership of Poonam Kumari, the Director-cum-Chairperson of the Poonam Kumari Foundation — the administrative parent body of Bharatiya Neeti Samvad Kendra (BNSK) — and the co-founder of BNSK. As a trailblazer in education and policy research, her dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence continue to inspire our mission of driving meaningful societal change. Poonam Kumari’s journey is a testament to her passion for education and community empowerment. She holds a bachelor's degree from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and a master’s degree from the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), New Delhi. Beyond her academic achievements, she has carved out a space as a celebrated economics instructor, content creator, and entrepreneur through her platform, Poonam Kumari Education Private Limited. She has revolutionized learning by making complex economic concepts accessible to thousands of students, particularly those pursuing B.A. Economics at Delhi University and other institutions across India. Her innovative approach to education extends beyond the classroom — through YouTube, social media, and digital platforms, she has cultivated a community of learners eager to understand economics and its impact on society. This passion for knowledge dissemination perfectly complements BNSK’s vision of bridging research with real-world impact, making policy conversations more inclusive and grounded in public understanding. As the driving force behind the Poonam Kumari Foundation, she has been instrumental in launching initiatives in education, health, and environmental sustainability, uplifting marginalized communities, and fostering youth-led change. Her leadership in BNSK echoes these values, infusing the think tank with fresh energy, strategic insight, and an unwavering belief in the power of collective action to transform communities. Poonam Kumari’s fearless commitment to social impact, her ability to connect with people at every level, and her visionary outlook are invaluable assets to BNSK. Under her guidance, we are empowered to chart new territories in policy research, governance reforms, and evidence-based policymaking — building a future where development is equitable, inclusive, and sustainable.
