Overview

  • Chintan Research Foundation, backed by the Adani Group, celebrated its first Foundation Day in New Delhi on June 19 as it started operations.
  • Pranav Adani called for collaboration among Indian think tanks, stressing the need to extend policy research into heartland regions such as Raipur, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and the Northeast.
  • President Shishir Priyadarshi outlined CRF’s three core tenets—climate change, energy transition and trade policy—as the basis for people-centric development through evidence-based reflection.
  • Former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant commended CRF’s initial publications for their detailed, evidence-driven analysis and predicted the foundation will become one of India’s leading policy institutes.
  • The foundation’s launch aligns with India’s ambition to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047 and reflects a broader surge in think tanks supporting climate, economic and strategic research.
