PAHLÉ INDIA FOUNDATION

Putting India First to Make India First

Pahlé India Foundation is a “think-and-action tank”—a hybrid institution that produces world-class, evidence-based ideas and translates them into real policy impact through on-ground pilots, state advisory, and stakeholder engagement. We don’t just recommend what should be done; we partner to ensure it gets done.

INSPIRATION

The founding of Pahlé India Foundation (PIF) was inspired by a commitment to “Putting India First to Make India First.” The core motivation was to fill the urgent gap in India’s public policy ecosystem by establishing a homegrown, world-class think tank dedicated to rigorous, evidence-based analysis rooted in Indian realities. Dr. Rajiv Kumar, the founder, envisioned a platform that could not only provide timely inputs to policy formulation but also foster candid, trust-based dialogue between government, industry, academia, and civil society for enriching India’s developmental narrative.
