Who We Are
The Centre for Integrated and Holistic Studies (CIHS) is a non-partisan, independent research think tank headquartered in New Delhi, India. Founded in 2021, CIHS is committed to bringing innovative ideas to society, fostering informed public debate, promoting good policy and programme formulation, and enhancing individual decision-making on some of the world’s most pressing issues.
Our scholars provide thought leadership on the cultural, societal and geopolitical dynamics that define the 21st century. We brief governments, the media and the wider public through clear, in-depth analysis and accessible multimedia content — shaping discourse with research rooted in evidence and in Bharat’s civilisational wisdom.
Our Approach
We facilitate impartial discourse on evolving issues that affect people in India and abroad by creating a culture of informed public engagement. Our work is holistic, equitable and inclusive, drawing on interdisciplinary knowledge frameworks to pre-empt, recognise and provide sustainable solutions to people’s issues.
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the world is one family. Our research begins from this conviction.
