Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The world of Indian economics and policy journalism is in mourning following the untimely passing of Radhika Pandey, a distinguished economist, policy researcher, and a cherished columnist for ThePrint.

Her columns in ThePrint were highly regarded for their intellectual honesty and ability to cut through the noise, offering readers a clear perspective on the most critical economic challenges facing India.
Ila Patnaik, a fellow economist and former colleague, remembered her as "a very dedicated and hard-working researcher." She added, "Her passing is a great loss for NIPFP and the country."
