IDFC Institute

IDFC Institute has been set up as a research-focused think / do tank by IDFC Ltd to investigate the political, economic and spatial dimensions of India's ongoing transition from a low-income state-led country to a prosperous market-based economy. Broadly, we support the notion of well-regulated free markets, and support inquiry into practices that result in greater, more efficient and equitable development. We strive to provide in-depth and actionable research and recommendations, with a current focus on urbanisation, urban expansion, affordable housing, skill development, the catalytic impact of political leadership and understanding voter behavior. We also host events to foster cutting edge and innovative thinking on development issues through informed, candid and substantive conversation.
