Ideas.
Institutions.
Impact.

Over the last 5 decades, IFMR has played a key role in accelerating India’s development trajectory by combining data, evidence and cutting-edge research with policy, capacity building and implementation. Acting at the intersection of academia, government, industry and civil society, IFMR is an independent, apolitical, not-for-profit institution with a mission to help humanity prepare for an unpredictable world.  

Towards this mission, we have over the last decade, established Krea University, as well as a number of impact research centres addressing a broad array of “grand challenges”, some in partnership with global institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, and Bill and Gates Foundation.

The work of our 300+ researchers across 10 centres covers the length and breadth of India –from artisan communities in Rajasthan and frontline health workers in Meghalaya to urban water systems in Bengaluru and women’s self-help groups navigating AI and digital technologies in Chhattisgarh,

We invite you to explore our work, discover the ways in which we drive systemic change, and engage with us to further our mission.
