About Us
Foundation for Economic Development (FED) is a Delhi-based not-for-profit organization.
Our Vision
FED aims to bring the average Indian citizen’s standard of living at par with the best in the world.
We believe the evidence indisputably shows that economic growth is the best way to improve human lives at scale.
Our approach is to identify high-impact opportunities for economic growth in India and work with central and state governments across the ‘value-chain’ of reform to help realize those opportunities.
We work to convert opportunities into priorities, priorities into roadmaps, and roadmaps into reality. Our broad workstreams comprise Research and Strategy; Communications and Outreach; and Implementation Support.
