Economics & Infra Development | The Indian Netizens

ECONOMIC AND INFRA DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE

A sub-entity of The Indian Netizens for building Bharat, powering its economy.

ABOUT US

Motto: निर्माणं स्वार्थस्य मार्गः / Creation is the path of self-interest

Every great nation rises on the back of its builders not just brick by brick, but idea by idea. In a country like India, where over 65% of the population is young and energetic, the call of creation is not just a choice, it’s a responsibility. The dream of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) is no longer a distant ideal, it is unfolding in real time. The Economic & Infra Development Research Centre is our commitment to studying this transformation and preparing the youth to lead it. This is a vertical founded not just on observation, but vision.

Today, India stands tall as the world’s fourth largest economy, and it's not slowing down. In fact, we're sprinting and poised to become the third largest economy in the near future, even as we already hold the title of the fastest-growing major economy on the planet. India is a paradox in motion: a developing nation with global-level fintech infrastructure. Our UPI ecosystem has gone global, our digital payment system is more advanced than many developed countries, and the world is taking notes. From small shops to international platforms, the Indian rupee is now buzzing in QR codes, not just coins.

This Centre exists to explore that story: a story of visionary policies, grassroots revolutions, and a billion dreams building in parallel.

We are building not just roads, expressways, bullet trains, smart cities, airports, seaports, logistics hubs and metros, but also optical fibre networks, digital infrastructure, schools, IITs, AIIMS, IIMs, engineering colleges, hospitals and skill centres that will drive the India of tomorrow. Be it urban verticals or rural roads, from Bharat to India, we are connecting every citizen to a larger national purpose. Every bridge is not just a structure; it’s a link to opportunity. Every power plant is not just a project; it’s a commitment to light up a billion lives.

At our Centre, we analyse today’s development with tomorrow’s lens. We assess the economic blueprint of India from the Union Budget to state-level capital investment trends, from Make in India to Start-up India, and from GDP growth trajectories to digital economy expansions. We focus on policy, innovation, growth, public-private partnerships, and future-readiness.

A strategic and dynamic vertical under The Indian Netizens, this Centre works autonomously yet with the shared vision of amplifying India’s voice in every domain. While our parent platform focuses on digital diplomacy, governance, and youth engagement, this research centre zooms in on nation-building through creation, infrastructure, innovation and inclusive growth.

Our research is future-facing and fact-rooted. Through data-driven insights, policy briefs, research essays, visual explainers, and collaborations, we strive to educate and empower the next generation of economic thinkers, infrastructure visionaries, and development advocates.

Because building is not just construction. It’s conviction.
And in India’s journey to become a global powerhouse, this Centre will chronicle and contribute to every milestone.

WHAT WE COVER

More Than a Centre. A Movement.

At the Economic & Infra Development Research Centre, we chart India’s meteoric economic rise and the engines propelling it forward. We analyse macroeconomic indicators from GDP growth and inflation trends to foreign direct investment inflows and trade balances placing them in the context of national priorities like Make in India, Startup India, and sustainable development goals. Our work decodes Union and state budgets, fiscal policies, and financial sector reforms to reveal how policy decisions translate into real‑world impact for businesses, communities, and investors.

We also investigate the full spectrum of physical and digital infrastructure that underpins India’s growth story. From highways, expressways, metros, and high‑speed rail to airports, seaports, and logistics corridors, we assess project timelines, financing models, and regional connectivity. On the digital front, we examine India’s world‑leading UPI ecosystem, broadband penetration via optical‑fibre networks, smart‑city initiatives, and the rollout of 5G. We study how public‑private partnerships, regulatory frameworks, and technological innovation converge to build tomorrow’s Bharat.

Beyond numbers and projects, our Centre explores the social and institutional infrastructure that shapes economic inclusion: schools and higher‑education institutes, hospitals and medical research centres, skill development hubs, and affordable housing schemes. We craft data‑driven policy briefs, in‑depth research papers, visual explainers, and interactive maps to inform stakeholders from grassroots activists to government planners about the challenges and opportunities in India’s development journey. In everything we cover, our goal is clear: to empower India’s youth with the insights they need to create, connect, and lead.
