What is the Indus Policy Forum?
The Indus Policy Forum is an independent, nonpartisan think tank based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. We are dedicated to identifying Pakistan’s most critical challenges and proposing actionable, research-driven solutions that promote sustainable development, institutional strength, and global competitiveness.
Who runs the Indus Policy Forum?
The forum is currently operated by a single founder, working to build a platform for independent analysis, strategic thinking, and meaningful public discourse about Pakistan’s future.
What areas does the Forum focus on?
Our focus areas include healthcare, education, industry, labor, defense, economic growth, environmental sustainability, and other sectors essential to Pakistan’s development and long-term resilience.
Is the Indus Policy Forum affiliated with any political party or government?
No. The Indus Policy Forum is fully independent and nonpartisan. We are committed to promoting evidence-based solutions that transcend political cycles and partisan divides.
How is the Indus Policy Forum different from other organizations focused on Pakistan?
We prioritize strategic, long-term thinking and research-driven proposals rather than reactionary commentary or partisan advocacy. Our work aims to offer practical, implementable reforms inspired by successful global models, while remaining rooted in Pakistan’s unique historical, cultural, and structural realities.
Can I contribute to the Forum’s work?
Yes. We welcome collaboration, feedback, and new ideas. If you are a student, researcher, policymaker, or engaged citizen interested in evidence-based policy work, we encourage you to contact us through our website.
Is the content final and fully referenced?
Not yet. The Indus Policy Forum is currently in an active development phase. Some uploaded content may contain incomplete citations, placeholders, or early-stage research as we continue to build a comprehensive, fully referenced library. We appreciate your understanding and patience as the platform evolves.
Is the Indus Policy Forum a nonprofit organization?
At this stage, the Forum operates independently as a personal initiative. Formal nonprofit status may be pursued as the platform grows.
How can I stay updated?
You can follow the latest articles and updates directly through our website. As the platform expands, we plan to offer additional ways to engage, including newsletters and research publications.
