Why we started.
Hi! My name is Sayesha, & I started Econ² , short for Econ-Con. Clever, right?
I found my Economics Education Up till 10th grade rather lacking. I really only discovered it in 11th, end even then, I was frustrated by the limitations imposed in the classroom. Economics is so deeply embedded into everything. It's a fascinating subject, but that's not how its presented. My goal with Econ^2 was to help students see economics, how I see economics.
Econ² consists of an offline conference, and handpicked online resources. Everything I wish I knew when first learning Eco, has been curated onto this website.

Market Research.
A survey conducted with 100+ students of high school and college showed the shocking disparity between education of those taking subjects in science and humanities, and those taking subjects in Finance.
A majority of Economics Students had No practical experience in the subject, compared to over 75% of science students, and 65% of Humanities students.
Economics is deeply personal and incredibly interesting to me. The subject has the potential to be so much more than what our school system lets it be. Here at Econ² , We do real Economics.
