Recognising innovation in the field of economics, the Infosys Science Foundation (ISF) has awarded the prestigious Infosys Prize 2025 in Economics to Nikhil Agarwal, the Paul A. Samuelson Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

As many of your know, the Nobel Prize for Economics 2013 went to a pair of economists for their work in the field of “Market Design” – the study of creating an optimal marketplace to reduce market failures. Al Roth, one of the recipients, is best known for his work in orchestrating kidney transplant matches using such economic principles. While kidneys are his specialty, he has also researched other processes that could be better organized using similar principles.
