Rao’s PMO to UN Secretariat: Ramu Damodaran's Journey From New Delhi to New York | VIGILANT

Ramu Damodaran was inside PV Narasimha Rao's PMO during the period of the Babri Masjid demolition and the upgradation of India's diplomatic relations with Israel. From serving as executive assistant to the Prime Minister of India in New Delhi, he went on to hold numerous leadership positions at the United Nations headquarters in New York. Damodaran joins us as our guest on this episode of VIGILANT, hosted by The Quint’s editor-in-chief Raghav Bahl, and shares his insights from a career traversing bureaucracy, diplomacy, and more.
