New Political Economy Initiative, IIT Bombay

The New Political Economy Initiative is a research programme based at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay that aims to rethink the study of the economy by catalysing a set of research collectives and bringing together economists, political scientists, sociologists, historians, geographers, legal scholars, urbanists, technical experts, journalists and research practitioners to build a structural and institutional vision of South Asia’s economies, past, present, and future. 

NPEI seeks to reset the conversation, picking up abandoned but fertile lines of inquiry and forging new ones across the social sciences and law to push towards a democratic political economy.
