PARADIGM PRISM
“There is no knowledge, no light, no
wisdom that you are in possession of, but
what you have received it from some source.”
Who we are?
The IIPM Think Tank, an independent, India-centric research body, is inspired by
Dr. M.K. Chaudhuri’s vision of India as an economic powerhouse in the 21st century; a modern
nation state where poverty becomes history and the underprivileged are not consigned to
the dustbin of amnesia. The national presence (across 7 nodes, New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai,
Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, & Ahmedabad) makes our understanding of the economy superior,
where in many research fellows and scholars, embark on research assignments and network
with global intelligentsia.
What we believe?
The IIPM Think Tank is wholly free of ideology and looks at the Indian developmental paradigms,
purely modelled upon the basis of ‘objective reality’ by opting for prescriptive economics. We
start with real-life problems, lay down solutions and examine them in real-life context (through
G.I.D Foundation) and observe what we learn about people and other variables in the systems
in India as we opine that there is much more to boundary between the humanity and the world
of ideas. We passionately believe in the credo that we constantly seek to follow: rethink, edify
and delineate. This enduring commitment has helped us foster and broaden the parameters of
public policy debate and alternatives. Toward that goal, it strives to achieve greater involvement
of the intelligent, concerned change agents (reform minded politicians, public servants, socially
responsible firms and citizens) in questions of policy and the ideation. Furthermore, we ardently
believe that the managers of tomorrow that are being groomed at IIPM today will play a decisive
role in India’s renewed tryst with destiny.
What we do?
-Brigham Young
As a premier ‘ideas organisation’, The IIPM Think Tank is committed to enhance public
awareness of policy issues in economics and management and to engineer solutions that will
fulfill the Great Indian Dream. By publishing the findings of its research, and through the active
participation of its senior researchers in the media and policy, it aims to bring new knowledge
to the attention of policy makers. Every year, The IIPM Think Tank commissions and publishes
socio-economic three quarterly reviews and an annual review, on a wide range of policy
issues including education, health, poverty, unemployment, agriculture, industry, services, FDI,
external trade, infrastructure and environment. All these outputs meet the highest standards of
scholarship, are accessible to a broad readership, and explore policy alternatives consistent
with the philosophy of ours. The central theme of our issues are devoted to assess where the
critical predicaments are, analysing what needs to be done to annul the element of development
deterrents in the economy and offer concrete proposals on how to accelerate welfare
everywhere towards achieving inclusive development. The India Economy Review is a small
manifestation of that vision. More than 3,000 students (7 nodes of IIPM) have—and continue
to—spent endless hours conducting primary and secondary research on strategic issues that
confront India. This research is then analysed by many scholars across the 7 campuses. Brand
new insights and policy recommendations that are provided by this core team are then crafted,
honed and polished by member Economics Research Group (ERG). This massive effort is
spearheaded and led by the renowned economist and management guru, Prof. Arindam
Chaudhuri. We trust that the untiring efforts of The IIPM Think Tank are a modest, yet
significant contribution to the policy reinvention that is poised to transform India.
