The Future of Society (FoS) Initiative at CPRG is a research and policy platform focused on the societal impact of emerging technologies, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI). We examine how technology is transforming education, employment, governance, and economic development in India.
Our Work
Policy Engagement& Events
FoS brings together policymakers, academics, and industry leaders through dialogues, roundtables, and summits that shape conversations on technology and society. Notable initiatives include the पढ़AI Conclave in New Delhi, a multi-day forum bridging government, industry, educators, and students on AI in education and the official side-event at the Global AI Summit 2025 in Paris.
Capacity Building & Fellowship Programs
We offer flagship fellowship and training programs designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders at the intersection of policy and technology. Our fellows gain practical experience in research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement. Key initiatives include the Transforming Society through AI Fellowship and the FoS Internship Programme—both providing immersive, research-driven exposure to real-world challenges in tech policy and AI.
Research, Publications & Thought Leadership
FoS undertakes rigorous, evidence-based research to inform policy and drive societal transformation. Our work spans high-impact reports, analytical studies, and sectoral research on AI adoption, education, and strategic industries. Notable publications include the AI in Education Report, which examines how AI is reshaping pedagogy, learning outcomes, and accessibility across Indian higher education institutions.
