RESEARCH CLUSTERS
The Esya Centre prioritises multi-disciplinary research to engender research clusters, through which practitioners and researchers collaborate. Moreover, it applies a data-first approach to avoid opinion-driven research. This is done by harnessing a variety of primary and secondary sources towards building sound empirical underpinnings for all research.

Innovation, Competition & IPR
A large share of technology policy as we know it today lies at the intersection of these three important themes.

Technology, Labour & Productivity
The impact of technology on the real economy is largely through labour and productivity related transmission channels.

Unlocking Economic Value
The future of economic regulation in India must be aimed at unlocking value through technology.

India Online
Over the next decade, India will need to (re)define norms and rules for the internet to actualise social and economic goals.
