Ankita BhattacharyyaAlumna, Nov ’25–Jan ’26 Cohort

The Diploma Course has had a very positive and constructive impact on my academic understanding of diplomacy. As I am currently pursuing a PhD on Digital Diplomacy, it was a great opportunity to learn Diplomacy and International Relations from its basic foundation. The classes were very useful. The overall management was very efficient in running the course. Thanks to Kamakshi ma’am for seamlessly running the sessions and the discussion.

Having done this program, I have been able to learn more about international politics, an enriching vision from experts in the field, not only at a theoretical level but they are very involved in the current context. The cultural, political and economic approach of the different topics learned have contributed to my professional growth with a global vision.

My journey with the Tillotoma Foundation has been one of the most enriching experiences. Discussions on topics like Space diplomacy, India-Japan relations and Counter-Insurgency provided me with a constructive view of India’s diplomatic engagements and the global scenario. Each insightful session with distinguished guests has been interactive and, for an IR enthusiast like me, it helps to understand different perspectives. I am extremely grateful and thankful for the opportunity.

This cohort was magical for me. As an International Relations enthusiast, it was a pleasure listening to Ambassadors sharing their lifetime experiences. Every session was based on a different topic. I loved how the theoretical meaning of every topic was related to the current geopolitical scenario. For those looking for knowledge way beyond textbooks, I highly recommend joining the Tillotoma Foundation cohort.

From gathering knowledge about world affairs and diplomacy to understanding their real-time facets, the diploma course was an insightful step further into the International Relations arena. Talks delivered by experienced and esteemed ambassadors, professors and experts gave an overview of India and its international standing in world affairs. The course was unique in providing direct interaction with experts through enriching Q&A sessions. The comprehensive assessment on Science Diplomacy and Border Security broadened my knowledge of prevailing challenges, opportunities and significant upcoming trends in geopolitics and Indian Foreign Policy.

Overall, the course significantly enhanced my understanding and analytical perspective, and I truly appreciate the effort put into curating such a meaningful learning journey.

I’m delighted to have been part of the March–April ’23 cohort of the Diploma Course on Diplomacy and Indian Foreign Policy, where we were given the chance to learn from and interact with dignitaries. The lectures expanded our horizons of knowledge while helping us realise the ground realities of different situations. Session recordings and a responsive team made it possible to revisit the learning and ask questions about international affairs. I am grateful to the dignitaries who shared their time and expertise, and to Mr Soham Das and Dr Kamakshi Wason for making the cohort smooth and organised.

Learning from professionals felt both surreal and deeply engaging after encountering politics and international relations mainly through textbooks. Seeing experts apply ideas in a practical context was the best part. The sessions taught me to approach issues with an open mind and to look for possibilities in difficult situations. I am especially grateful for the session recordings, the prominent speakers and the opportunity to learn directly from them.
