ICRIER PROSUS CENTRE FOR INTERNET AND DIGITAL ECONOMY

About Us

Established in 2022, the ICRIER Prosus Centre for Internet and Digital Economy (IPCIDE), set up jointly by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), one of India’s premier economic think tanks, and Prosus Services B.V., the largest consumer Internet company in Europe, is focused towards building policy evidence to shape the next phase of India’s digital transformation. The Centre has emerged as a hub of thought leadership across the digital economy, producing the State of India’s Digital Economy (SIDE) reports alongside research on startups, competition, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), platforms, and emerging technologies. These insights are shared through policy briefs, working papers, and multi-stakeholder engagements spanning government, industry, academia and civil society.

The Centres Research Themes include State of India's Digital Economy (SIDE), Digital Public Infrastructure and Platforms (DPIP), Startups & Competition, and Emerging Technologies.

IPCIDE has advanced policy discussions on AI’s impact on labour markets, ethics and governance of AI, innovation in startups, and the role of DPI in sectors such as health.

India’s digital future will shape the livelihoods and economic choices of millions of citizens, and carry ramifications far beyond the borders of our country. Evidence-based research to guide public policy is therefore crucial. We are proud to contribute to that effort.
