Pahlé India Foundation, was founded by Dr. Rajiv Kumar as a not-for-profit policy think tank in April, 2013. It’s motto from the very beginning has been “Putting India First To Make India First.” The objective is to create a world class think tank that pursues rigorous evidence-based analysis for timely inputs into policy making. PIF will also provide a credible, trustworthy and neutral policy platform for bringing together government, industry, academia and civil society for enriching the public narrative on topical issues. In the past one decade, PIF has been able to carve out a niche for itself and earn a reputation with policymakers as an independent, extremely credible institute that can be relied upon for producing high quality inputs for policy formulation. It is registered as a Section 8 company and is FCRA certified.
