Stefan Tobias

Stefan was a career civil servant with the Government of India before coming to Princeton. He has extensive experience in building public service delivery infrastructure and management of citizen-centric digital transformation projects in India. Stefan's previous roles included the implementation of multiple financial inclusion projects of the Government of India in Erode, in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. This past summer, he interned with the Information Kerala Mission (IKM) - an autonomous institution under the state government of Kerala (India) - mandated to enhance local self governance through the introduction of ICT tools. At Princeton, he hopes to further deepen his interest in the development of capacity building mechanisms in public institutions through the design of evidence-based policies and the introduction of technology. Stefan graduated with a degree in economics from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. In his free time, you can see him dissecting Manchester United’s latest performance over the weekend, sipping his favorite coffee brews, or reading.
