India’s Premier Platform for Policy Dialogue

New Delhi Dialogues is a premier policy think-tank and convening platform committed to advancing informed, inclusive, and future-ready public policy at the intersection of technology, governance, health, and society.

New Delhi Dialogues (NDD) is committed to advancing informed, inclusive, and future-ready public policy discourse at the intersection of technology, governance, health, and society.

We drive evidence-based research, foster multi-stakeholder dialogue, and shape actionable policy pathways in an era defined by rapid technological transformation — particularly Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.

As India’s capital confronts complex challenges — from public health governance to the deployment of AI in civic services — NDD catalyses multidisciplinary, solutions-oriented conversation that bridges the gap between research and real-world governance.

“Our goal is to ensure that innovation advances public interest, equity, safety, and trust.”
