Read the full biography Trained in management at IIM Ahmedabad, Dr. Shah's public-handle @AnkitAtIIMA on X has become the principal channel through which he posts his projections and analysis. His writing extends across geopolitics, the political economy of post-Cold-War Asia, and the philosophical foundations of Indic economic thought. The Sanātana Economics model, in particular, is the central framework around which his books and lectures are organised: it argues that the dominant Western economic categories - growth, wealth, sustainability - have indigenous Indic analogues that can produce a richer and more historically grounded understanding of Indian economic life.
