Namaste! We are GAEE India
Continuing the Global Association of Economics Education’s mission of reforming and promoting economic literacy across ten countries, GAEE India was established in 2020 to serve the ongoing demand for quality economics education and discourse among aspiring economists in India.
Our Vision.
Through the medium of our sessions and discussions, we aim to create an inclusive space for college students to come forth and bridge the gap between economics education and its application. The organization strives to engage students in high-quality workshops and events with the goal of educating its members about the fundamentals of economic theory in practice, personal finance and entrepreneurial skills. We envision opening the gates to this learning group for students throughout India from all backgrounds and majors to further bust the belief that these fields are accessible only to a certain pool of people.
Our History.
With a drive for growth and a common aim of democratizing economics education, GAEE India (formerly GAEE North India) was founded as the first Indian chapter of GAEE International in August 2020. Over the course of one year, GAEE India has successfully established and monitored 5 chapters in 5 prominent Indian college campuses, namely, Delhi Technological University, Hansraj College, Jesus and Mary College, Jamia Millia Islamia and Lady Shri Ram College for Women. Within the course of an year, GAEE India has conducted numerous training workshops, sessions, quizzes and enriching discussions pertaining to economics, finance, entrepreneurship, consulting and policy issues. We look forward to the continuous growth of GAEE India in the years to come.
GAEE India is a part of the #GAEEforAsia program officially recognized as the SDG Action No. 36897 listed in the United Nations DESA agenda.

The team [at GAEE] has worked to transform the conventional curriculum into redacted, engaging, and interactive learning activities that appeal to everyone—not just those looking for economic priesthood.
Founded in 2017, GAEE is a US-based multi-chapter student-led organisation with the aim of promoting economics education, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship incubation for students in over ten countries.

– Kesa Zahera INTRODUCTION “Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbour life”. These lines by Carl Sagan […]
BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING: UNVEILING GENDER DISPARITIES IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
–Shivalee Duara ABSTRACT The article talks about the gender gap that exists in the field of entrepreneurship even today. This discrimination is evident in various forms. It ranges from the mindset, societal norms, limitations, and investment gap. India is home to more than 8,000 start-ups founded by women; however, 6,000 of these start-ups remain unfinanced. […]

He encapsulates the idea of social well-being and how it correlates to economic development. This heralded a new form of economic thinking, unconventional and distinctive, contrary to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand Principle. The constant tussle […]
