Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution India
Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, India was announced on January 23, 2018 at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos and officially launched in India on October 11, 2018.
It is developed in partnership with the Government of India through the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog.
Located in Mumbai, it serves as a platform for technology governance in the Indian context. It acts as a trusted space for local and foreign policy-makers, business leaders, technology experts and other stakeholders to exchange insights on the latest technological trends and applications.
We work on pilot projects to accelerate the adoption of new technologies in India, minimize their negative effects on the society, and ensure inclusive and equitable distribution of their benefits.
From ‘local solution’ to ‘global application’…the new Centre will strengthen this process. As the work progresses, one of the targets is ‘Solve for India, Solve for the World’

How we work
Human-Centered Design
Our mission is to accelerate the benefits and mitigate the risks of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to individuals and society. Our portfolios are co-designed with those most affected by technological change.
Prototype, Test, Iterate
We are an applied research centre. Our portfolios are designed for implementation with partners around the world so that we can generate real-world learnings and scalable impact.
Cross-Cutting Collaboration
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is defined by the intersection of new technologies and previously disparate sectors. Our interdisciplinary teams embody this dynamic by breaking down silos and fostering innovative collaborations.
