Akshara Sharma
I am finalist in the Bharat Budget Quest 2026. This journey has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding, beginning with successfully navigating the rigorous selection process, which included a competitive quiz round and a comprehensive essay submission. These preliminary stages tested my analytical abilities and my understanding of India’s economic landscape. The experience culminated in an immersive three-day event hosted at IIIT Naya Raipur, where I had the privilege of collaborating with like-minded peers and engaging with insightful industry experts. Participating in this quest has been a milestone experience, deepening my perspective on national policy and fiscal strategy.
