Our Mission
One of the strengths of India's democratic system is the considerable
space it allows for open and vigorous debate on issues of public policy.
Participant representing different shades and interests express their
views freely. Parliamentarians, civil servants, judges, diplomats,
journalists, scholars and professionals come together and exchange
ideas. This is something that makes Capital Foundation different from
all other public forums.
