On 9th February, 2026, the Department of Economics, Loreto College, Kolkata organised an alumna lecture for the present batch of students. The speaker of this session was Ms. Srijita Bose, from the batch of 2016, who is currently serving as Senior Associate in the Strategy and Transactions practice at Ernst & Young and specialises in International Business Economics and Finance,
The session began with a short introductory note on the speaker by Mahika Roy Ghatak, a second year student of the department followed by a warm felicitation ceremony. The speaker began with a brief reminiscence of her journey in Loreto College and how it had shaped her with the necessary skills to join the corporate world. Speaking on the topic, ‘Structured Economic Thinking for Policy Design and Reform’ among students, Ms. Bose threw light on problem solving, economic thinking and decision making as the preliminaries in the field of public policy design and reforms. She introduced tools like the MECE framework that help in the analysis of complex problems by breaking them into non overlapping components. She stressed on how issue trees and hypothesis trees help narrow down choices based on expected outcomes.
Ms. Srijita, being an aced orator could make the session engaging and thought provoking for the students with her nuanced, yet vivid exposition. Students across the semesters interacted thoroughly and engaged enthusiastically in the session. They also asked stimulating questions within and beyond the scope of the topic that was addressed in the session. The program ended with a formal vote of thanks outlining the contribution of those without whom the session would not have been completed successfully.
