Reetika Khera, Economist, PhD from Delhi School of Economics, now at IIT Delhi (former colleague at IIMA). Expert on social policies. Only 3000+ citations to her work but more importantly, there's also a Wikipedia page.

Harini Nagendra, Ecologist, PhD from IISc in 1998, now at APU Bengaluru. Only 150+ peer reviewed papers, 11K citations + stellar books such as 'Nature in the City'.

So think twice before applying abroad. IIMA is a great place to do a PhD in so many diverse fields. Do apply :)
