Programme Overview and Experience
Grounded in theory and evidence while focused on application, the 8-week programme takes you from the core ideas of behavioural science to real-world application. Learn from globally recognised behavioural scientists and practitioners—Dr. Pavan Mamidi and Pooja Haldea—who established India’s first Behavioural Science Lab within the Indian government. Together with Dr. Shagata Mukherjee and other accomplished guest experts, gain insights into nudges, experiments, storytelling, ethnography, social norms, and more.
Translate behavioural insights into solutions for consumer journeys, development programmes, and workplace challenges. Along the way, practise storytelling for influence, build better habits, and collaborate on a live capstone project. You’ll leave with a practical toolkit and a peer network to drive meaningful change.

Hear From Our Alumni
I particularly enjoyed the pre-reading material and links for reference... This has been a great introduction to the behavioural science domain and I am looking forward to immersing myself more and gaining more in depth knowledge.
I loved the content and structure. This is exactly what I need at this time in my life. I have been referring to the content in many conversations in personal life and work, and have applied for my own personal development.
It was an excellent experience overall. The professors and teaching staff really helped to ease matters and simplify concepts. I hope to be able to implement learning going forward.
