Though the government is elected by the people and is the head of all decisions that impact the state, it is not the only decision maker in the economy. In my opinion, greater participation leads to greater impact, and the eventual goal of all active participants in an economy is their impact. This impact can be as small as a purchase made in a shop to creating a policy, the decisions we make lead the nation. A nation can be powerful and reliable if these decisions are based on educated thought and research. The organisation aims to grow India into a leader with its world class policy research and advocacy. The organisation doesn’t simply aim impact stakeholders, but also the population that is impacted by the policy, by keeping them involved in the pipeline of all policy related news.

As the world has progressed, I have in my career seen the growth of technology and how technology canabalises itself. If India aims to be a world leader by 2030, the onus is on every citizen ranging from government to bucreaucracy, industry to  academicians to students. With the upsurge of disruptive technologies, Data and Knowledge is the key to success. Through our various initiatives, CKS aims to create awareness on topics of importance in future, discuss with relevant stakeholders, conduct research and communicate our suggestions or views to relevant people. We aim to engage youth, technocrats, startups, innovators and give them a platform to interact with stalwarts from various sectors of society.
