We engage with 

Graphics-driven Insights

This means that the insights we publish, are totally driven by some graphical representation of ideas, problems and solutions in any of our cutting-edge publications and inputs, including our reports and manuals. This makes the content context-friendly, simple and helpful for readers, our clients and our partners.

We are driven to provide 

Innovative Workflows

Unlike traditional think tanks, research institutions and management consultancies, we do not believe in offering a so-called checklist to any legal, technology or policy problem. Instead, we aim at solving problems by focusing on delivering innovative workflows, which can drive real-time changes for our clients and partners. 

We understand the interplay of

Law, Policy & Technology

Understanding the interplay of law, policy & technology is often confused with understanding technology laws & science and technology policies. We understand beyond limiting our understanding of laws & policies and redefine commercial, entrepreneurial and rules-based approach to legal restrictions, policy consensus on usual issues, and the exact streams of technology evolution, so that we are not impacted by the market hype that drives a misled and cluttered picture of trending methods and deliverables in any digital technology, including AI.

Some unsettling numbers to begin with.

The IndoPacific.App, hosted by our team in partnership with the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law, comprises a huge archive of downloadable items - nearly 99% of them are non-fictional research publications. However, after some data research, we came across some interesting data trends from the App which we intend to showcase here.

This data is not just Indic Pacific's foundational story: this is the story of India's emerging tech law talents, and so many other people who have been associated with our research networks since 2020.
