Indian Foreign Policy Project

Where young ideas shape global futures.

We are an independent youth-led organisation reimagining how foreign policy is understood and shaped in South Asia. Founded in 2024, we bring together students and young thinkers from across Indian campuses to ask bold questions, challenge dominant narratives, and foster critical awareness of global affairs. By cultivating informed debate and fresh perspectives, IFPP is building a ground-up, youth-driven approach to international relations rooted in South Asia and shaped by its future.
