LA&PS alumnus, Talha Aamer Chaudhry was named one of 91ÑÇɫ’s 2026 Top 30 Alumni Under 30, recognized among a distinguished group of young leaders making a meaningful impact around the world. In recognition of his achievement, we connected with Talha to better understand how his experience as an Economics graduate contributed to where he is today.  

  1. How did your degree in Economics help get you where you are today? 
    Economics taught me how to think â€“ not just in numbers, but in systems. It gave me the ability to understand incentives, make structured decisions and see the bigger picture, which has been foundational across technology, business and entrepreneurship. 
  2. What career did you dream of pursuing in undergrad, and where did your professional path actually take you after graduation?  
    I initially envisioned a traditional path in finance or consulting. Instead, my journey evolved into leading digital transformation, building ventures and working across technology, education and entrepreneurship â€“ far broader and far more purpose-driven than I had imagined. 
  3. What skills or knowledge from the Economics program have been most beneficial in your career? 
    Critical thinking, problem structuring and understanding trade-offs. Economics trains you to analyze uncertainty and make decisions with imperfect information â€“ skills that are invaluable in both corporate strategy and entrepreneurship. 
  4. In what ways have the network and connections you made during your studies helped you in your career? 
    The relationships I built opened doors to global opportunities, collaborations, and perspectives. More importantly, they exposed me to diverse ways of thinking, which continues to shape how I lead and build today. 
  5. What advice do you have for first year Economics students? 
    Don’t just focus on grades â€“ focus on understanding how the world works. Stay curious, explore beyond the classroom and build something of your own early. Clarity comes from action, not overthinking.
