Our Mandate
Who we are, what we cover, how we work, and how you can engage with us.
Connect long-term thinking with the decisions India makes today.
Our mandate is to make the choices shaping India’s future clearer, better informed and open to wider debate. We examine opportunities, test assumptions and explore the capabilities needed to turn ambition into action.
Four questions guide our work
- What is changing?
- Why does it matter?
- What happens next?
- What should India do?
These questions guide our analysis, interviews and discussions by connecting today’s developments with their longer-term consequences.
Where we focus
- Technology & AI: Innovation, digital infrastructure and India’s ability to develop, govern and deploy technology.
- Manufacturing: Industrial capabilities, supply chains, product development and global competitiveness.
- Economy & Enterprise: Growth, entrepreneurship, capital allocation and financial inclusion.
- Climate & Energy: Energy security, clean energy, climate resilience and resource sustainability.
- Human Capital: Education, skills, health, employment and the changing nature of work.
- Culture & Society: Social change, media, culture and the ideas shaping public life.
Across these areas, we examine how governance, institutional capacity and India’s global role influence what the country can achieve.
Our editorial commitments
- Evidence: Ground our work in credible sources, distinguish facts from opinion and make uncertainty clear.
- Practical relevance: Examine implementation, costs and trade-offs, including who benefits and who risks being left behind.
- Independence: Make editorial choices on merit and public relevance. Partnerships must respect our editorial independence.
- Clarity and openness: Make complex arguments accessible, welcome informed disagreement and correct errors.
