Vision
To be a catalyst for an empowered India that uplifts one-sixth of humanity and shapes the global future.
India’s Only Meta-Strategic Function
A genre-defining meta-strategic function that catalyses India’s future through three non-negotiable levers:
Anticipatory Intelligence. Narrative Sovereignty. Mindset Transformation.
Not a think tank. Not a policy actor. Not a media platform.
It is a catalytic function. A Think Change.
ART: Core Levers of Sovereign Power
Anticipate – so India leads proactively and decisively shapes future trajectories.
Redefine – so India reclaims narrative sovereignty and frames global discourse.
Transform – so national cognition and coherence become force multipliers.
Individually catalytic, mutually reinforcing. ART makes India’s rise coherent, self-authored, and future-facing.
A Global First: Mindset as Strategic Terrain
The collective cognition of 1.44 billion people is a critical yet overlooked lever of national power. It is the battlefield where vision and objectives stand or fall; the difference between disorder and dividend.
Ignoring this terrain leads to vulnerabilities, stagnation, and chaos. Transforming it creates coherence, resilience, and unstoppable momentum.
Founder’s Note
India aspires to be a developed nation by 2047. That future cannot be secured without clarity of vision, command of narrative, and collective coherence. India’s trajectory will not only shape its own destiny, but also that of the world. Owning it is non-negotiable.
This is why FuturisIndia was created. Not as another institution, but as a reset of India’s operating logic. It is novel, ambitious, and yes, audacious. Because anything less will not be sufficient for the complex challenges India faces.
FuturisIndia’s inception itself was an act of ART. It surfaced a critical blind spot, its name proclaimed that Futur(e) is India, and it shifted how national capability is understood. It was conceived from a deep conviction that India already has many think tanks; what it truly needs is a Think Change.
