ABOUT US

Motto: वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् / The World is One Family

This motto isn’t just an ancient Indian Sanskrit proverb, it’s our declaration of intent and it's our guiding philosophy. It reflects a timeless vision of global unity, shared responsibility, and mutual respect. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam captures the spirit of India’s civilisational approach to global harmony, and at the Global Affairs and Diplomacy Research Centre, we are reclaiming it with fresh resolve. We do not just analyse international relations, we shape how India’s youth engages with the world.

A strategic and autonomous vertical of The Indian Netizens, this Centre stands at the intersection of diplomacy, youth leadership, and Indian soft power. We are not here to passively interpret foreign affairs. We are here to create an intellectual front, driven by research, powered by opinion, and fuelled by purpose. We decode geopolitics, multilateralism, strategic alliances, soft power, and India's evolving foreign policy. This all through the eyes of India’s emerging generation.

We collaborate with embassies, global institutions, and youth-led organisations abroad, ensuring that India’s narrative is not just heard, but respected. From policy notes and editorial commentary to high-impact visuals and diplomatic outreach, our content is designed to inform, influence, and inspire.

This is not just a research centre. It’s a platform for India’s young diplomats-in-training, strategic thinkers, and future global voices. We believe diplomacy should not be confined to government corridors and it must thrive in open spaces, in universities, on social media, and in citizen movements. And that’s exactly where we operate.

Our parent body, The Indian Netizens, gives us strength, but our vision is our own: clear, bold, and uncompromising and India must lead with intellect, empathy, and courage on the world stage and our youth must be at the helm of it. India’s global voice must rise and it will rise from its youth.

WHAT WE COVER

More Than a Centre. A Movement.

At the Global Affairs and Diplomacy Research Centre, we dive deep into the shifting dynamics of world politics through a uniquely Indian lens. Our work covers the broad spectrum of global relations with a firm focus on Indian foreign policy and diplomacy as the core drivers of India’s strategic identity in the world.

We actively analyse India’s evolving role on the international stage, from its bilateral ties to its participation in multilateral forums such as the United Nations (UN), BRICS, SCO, QUAD, G20, and beyond. We study how India navigates complex partnerships, regional groupings, and strategic alliances to shape a multipolar, more equitable global order.

This Centre explores key questions around international developments, global conflicts, emerging powers, and diplomatic formats including bilateral, trilateral, plurilateral, and multilateral diplomacy. We also produce foreign policy briefs, timely geo-analyses, and country-specific insights, helping decode the layers of strategic intent behind diplomatic actions and alliances.

Whether it's understanding geopolitical realignments, decoding the impact of climate diplomacy, assessing global trade deals, or tracking South-South cooperation, our goal remains clear: to inform, educate, and empower India’s youth to think globally and act strategically.

This centre is not just about research work, it’s for narrative-shaping from Bharat to the world.
