Indian-American Bharat Ramamurti has been appointed as the senior adviser for Economic Strategy for Economic Liberties, a non-profit and non-partisan organization that seeks to realize economic liberty for all.
Commenting on his appointment, Ramamurti said “I’m excited to help advise an organization that has played a critical role in tackling one of the most important economic policy issues of our time: growing corporate concentration and its impact on prices, wages, and innovation across our economy.”
Ramamurti, the former deputy director of the National Economic Council, worked under President Biden in the white house from January 2021 to August 2023. Prior to that, he worked as senior counsel for Senator Elizabeth Warren where he was responsible for matters pertaining to financial accountability and economic justice.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer named Ramamurti to the Congressional Oversight Commission for the CARES Act in 2020, where he was given responsibility for managing the federal government's financial response to the COVID-19 epidemic. Throughout his professional career, Ramamurti has been an outspoken advocate of economic justice.
“Bharat is one of the key architects of the Biden administration’s competition agenda, where he helped drive the President’s whole-of-government approach to tackling corporate concentration across the economy,” said Faiz Shakir, Interim executive director of the American Economic Liberties Project.
“He understands that robust competition is the cornerstone of a healthy economy and the importance of returning antitrust back to the people. We’re thrilled to welcome his expertise, and excited to add someone who understands how to maneuver government authorities to make change happen,” Shakir further added.
