About Bharat Design Lab

Powering India's Development Transition

India is on a transformative journey to become a $30 trillion knowledge-based economy by 2047. Achieving this requires a tenfold increase in per capita income, and sectoral growth of 4x in agriculture, 14x in industry, and 10x in services.

At Bharat Design Lab (BDL), we believe this ambitious vision demands more than economic strategy. It calls for intersectional approaches, convergent investments, and empowered human capital.

We act as the connective tissue between ground realities and high-level strategy. Our work bridges capability gaps in government, civil society, and the private sector to unlock transformative impact.
