Gita Gopinath: The Mysuru Malayali helping stabilize the world economy as IMF chief economist

Gita Gopinath: The Mysuru Malayali helping stabilize the world economy as IMF chief economist


 As a young girl, Gita Gopinath’s father would neatly line up vegetables on the family table to help her understand the concept of multiplication. Perhaps that explains her love for numbers. As she grew older Gita was big on athletics; but one day she surprised her family when she decided to quit sports. Her reasoning: she needed to focus on her studies so she could be somebody big one day. Today, the 49-year-old is the first female chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and her journey from a middle-class Mysuru girl to an economist of great repute is a story of grit and determination. Gita Gopinath is as well-known for her research on international finance and macroeconomics as she is for rocking her beloved jhumkas on the global stage.  

This year, the former John Zwaanstra Professor of International Studies and of Economics at Harvard University, is one of the 34 immigrants in the 2021 Great Immigrants list by Carnegie Corporation of New York.
