The Bhagwati Fellowship, supported by the Government of India and named after economist and trade theorist Jagdish Bhagwati, fosters expertise in international trade law among LL.M. students at Columbia Law School. This year's fellowship was awarded to Achyuth Anil, from India's National Law University and Ketty Getachew.
“Those who do trade law know what the Bhagwati Fellowship is,” Anil said. Preparing for the New York bar exam, he looks forward to a career in government service or academia. “Trade law morphs and adapts based on geopolitical situations. It’s challenging but rewarding,” he noted.
Anil's journey included work at EY and the Centre for Trade and Investment Law in India. At Columbia, he furthered his research and interned at the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment.
Ketty Getachew will use the fellowship to continue her studies in New York, “the center of capital markets and international law.” With academic credentials from Goethe University Frankfurt and a dissertation on post-Brexit trade, Getachew sought a fresh perspective in international trade law. “One of my main motivations to come here was to view international trade law through the lens of a U.S. law professor,” she said.
Her studies included a U.N. externship and participation in the Columbia Journal of European Law. She emphasized integrating social aspects into her practice, inspired by Bhagwati’s vision of trade supporting human rights.
The Jagdish Bhagwati Fellowship, established in 2010, continues to honor its namesake by fostering future leaders in international trade, equipping them to navigate and shape the global landscape.
