USIPI is a nonprofit policy research think tank based in Washington D.C. We conduct in-depth research to facilitate real-world change for minorities and the marginalized in India.

Vision

We imagine an inclusive, equal, and democratic India where every individual has equitable access to freedom, justice, and opportunities without prejudice.

 

Mission

Founded in 2012, USIPI is a non-profit think tank that believes thoughtful and relevant research must guide those with decision-making power.

Our unique role is to generate relevant and in-depth research that builds a shared understanding of the situation faced by minority and marginalized communities living in India. Policymakers, NGOs, community leaders, and the general public all benefit from our work.

How we do it

  • EXPLORE

    From identifying relevant issues to conducting rigorous research and publishing high-quality information - all in partnership with leading academics, USIPI lays the foundation for transformational change.

  • EDUCATE

    Education is the launching pad for how we take our publications and introduce them to the world. Our high-quality publications inform key audiences and inspire them to higher-quality decision-making. We also distribute our publications widely for large-scale knowledge dissemination.

  • EQUALIZE

    Equalizing is about reshaping policies so they are more inclusive and equitable for all. USIPI can’t do it alone and those who have operational models for advocacy can’t do it alone. Policy advocates use USIPI’s evidence-based research and publications to equip them to change policy.

“Knowledge is power. USIPI’s work provides optimistic infrastructure for long-term change for minorities in India.”
