About Us
Foundation for Economic Development (FED) is a Delhi-based non-profit driving sustained, broad-based economic growth of over 10% in India. Evidence shows that high growth is the best tool to reduce poverty—post-1991 reforms cut poverty from ~50% to ~20%, lifting 350 million people out of abject poverty. However, sustaining fast growth has become challenging, making structural reforms critical. FED identifies high-impact sectors and collaborates with policymakers to unlock growth.
Our Focus
FED prioritizes Export-Led Labour-Intensive Manufacturing and Tourism as key drivers of growth. Our immediate focus is manufacturing, where reforms in labour, land, utilities, EODB, and logistics can unlock significant opportunities.
