The Indian Foreign Policy Project was born from both concern and conviction. Concern that foreign policy discourse in India was elitist, shallow and shaped by the winds of jingoism that plagues social media. Conviction that young people, who will live with the consequences of India's decisions, deserve the space to understand, question, and shape them. What began in 2024 as a student-led initiative has grown into a youth-powered organisation supported by a thriving community with a clear purpose: to widen access to international relations and cultivate independent, critical engagement with India’s role in the world.

At IFPP, we work at the intersection of policy reforms, education, and public dialogue. We publish independent writing, convene conversations with policymakers and practitioners, and host programs that equip young people to engage seriously with foreign policy and peacebuilding. Our work spans long-form research, speaker series, cross-border dialogues, and educational initiatives that reach students across campuses and communities, especially those traditionally excluded from policy spaces.

We do not claim to speak for young people; we create the structures through which they can speak for themselves. IFPP is a bridge between elite classrooms and policy debates, between emerging voices and established institutions. Our goal is not only to critique how foreign policy is discussed today, but to help build the intellectual infrastructure for a more open, informed, and inclusive global future. 

And we are just getting started.
