About us
Ideas for India (I4I) is an economics and policy portal that publishes evidence-based analysis and commentary on issues pertaining to growth and development in India. I4I serves as an ideologically neutral space for economists, other social scientists, and practitioners to use their research and experience to weigh in on key policy questions. The portal hopes to change the way in which economic evidence filters into policy debates. It targets a wide audience comprising but not limited to policymakers, academics and researchers, civil society organisations, media, industry, and non-specialists that are interested in development and growth policy issues. I4I constantly strives to be more accessible to a lay audience and to encourage public engagement.
