OUR MISSION
We believe international relations should not be confined to closed circles. India’s choices in the world shape everyday life: from economic opportunities to security and peace. Young people deserve the space to understand these choices, question them, and imagine alternatives.
At IFPP, we build platforms for young Indians to think critically, write independently, and engage seriously with foreign policy and global affairs. By widening access to these conversations and amplifying emerging voices, we work to change who participates in shaping how India is understood in the world.
At IFPP, we shape how young Indians understand the world: building the ideas, voices, and leadership that will define India’s future.
