I\'m currently expanding my skills in research and academic content writing, and actively seeking freelance or remote opportunities—from research to policy-oriented writing and internships.I have a natural curiosity for connecting political ideas to contemporary realities, because I truly believe Political Science isn’t just theory—it’s a toolkit for making sense of today’s complex world.Let’s connect if you\'re working at the intersection of politics, research, education, or just enjoy thoughtful conversations about how ideas shape action.

White Brick Forum

Think Tanks · 11 employees · Founded 2026 · New Delhi, Delhi, India

The White Brick Forum (WBF) is an independent, youth-led think tank headquartered in India, dedicated to providing sharp research analysis. As we stand by our vision of forging India’s strategic vision for a multipolar world, the WBF brings together emerging scholars, analysts, and practitioners worldwide to shape perspectives and advance India’s voice amidst global shifts in an era of geopolitical volatility. Originating in India, our work is transnational, we closely track developments taking place worldwide. Our particular attention is devoted to the emerging geopolitical dynamics in the Indo-Pacific, the Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Middle East and Gulf region, Eurasia, and the rising picture of the Arctic. Our primary focus areas include Foreign & Diplomatic Policies, Geopolitics and Strategic Affairs, Public Policy and Governance, Public Affairs, Geoeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Sustainability and ESG. The strength of the WBF lies in its dynamic team, which comprises members from globally ranked and reputed institutions, including the University of Delhi, Calcutta University, Christ University, Lloyd School of Law, Symbiosis International University, and the University of Glasgow. We started the WBF because young researchers belong at the center of policy conversations, not on the margins. We are a distinctly youth-led think tank, built to give the next generation of policy voices the platform to lead today. By putting young thinkers in the driving seat, we are forging a sharper, more forward-looking strategic vision for India. The WBF is driven by tangible results through its vibrant range of sub-units, owned and operated by the White Brick Forum under four main broad divisions or pillars namely the WBF Publications Wing, the WBF Video Wing, the WBF Graphics & Design Wing and the WBF Initiatives collectively known as The Tetrad Pillars of the White Brick Forum.
