We are proudly located in Bangalore, the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka, and we work pan India and also internationally. While our work is rooted in in-depth research, we also work at the intersection of capacity building and advocacy, with the aim of contributing to knowledge production, policy shifts and process reforms. Our research outputs include reports, policy briefs, working papers, books, book chapters, journal papers, documentaries and film clips, blogs and newspaper articles.
