India playing a strategic role in the Indo-Pacific strategy is the point of focus in an age of realignments amid the world powers and the jostling of the sea lanes. Indo-Pacific approach is not just about watching the seas but a holistic approach that entails all aspects of defence, diplomacy and economic activities. With countries re-evaluating the focus of this fluid geography, New Delhi has been actively engaged in minilateral grouping and in strategic dialogues, which point to it becoming a provider of security and a champion of rules-based order. Our forum summarises these emerging requirements, providing practical guidance and strategic outlook to the people who are defining the role India could play in this region of the high seas.
Bonding on the foundation of mutual trust and commonality of interest, Washington and New Delhi are strengthening their ties as they are two of the most important democracies of the world. US-India relations now see the sunflower of joint military drills, high-priority technological tie-ups, and shared Indo-Pacific goals. This is a mature bilateral relationship since there has been an increasing institutionalisation of defence and economic engagements. We unearth the criticalities of trade, defence purchase, and high-level summits to enable stakeholders to realise the effects of such cooperation on India to gain its strategic autonomy and increase its presence in the world.
In a period where aggressiveness in positioning is posing instability in maritime Asia, the very eloquent but proactive IndoPacific strategy formulated by India is playing a fundamental role. The bonding with similar democracies, emphasis on robust logistics and attachment towards Free and Open Indo-Pacific demonstrate a fine line between deterrence and diplomacy. Be it the Quad, the IPEF, or the ASEAN centrality, India has an assertive but strategically networked approach towards it. We dissect these strategies in our research with the emphasis on real application and policy using real-world applications.
Foreign policy US-India relations currently cover all the areas of governance in the globe, including counter terrorism to climate change. As we see changing geopolitical uncertainties, their embrace is a strategic one, not a transactional embrace, but a transformational one. This alliance with common aspirations in new technologies, critical infrastructure and defence manufacturing opened new avenues in capacity expansion and local governance. We report fresh assessments of summits, accords and strategy talks, and assist a decision-maker to know how this collaboration results in policy changes and on-ground achievements.
We present an India-first perspective at the confluence of geopolitics and national interest to the Indo-Pacific strategy. Our work is addressed to the foreign policy designer, the defence planners, the corporate risk managers, or the scholar interested in basing his/her decisions on subtle, evidence-informed ideas. With refined publications, competent discussions, and short briefings led by professionals, we create a knowledge ecosystem to form the future Lonely Planet of the Indian state and its interaction with other regional and global settings.
