The Pravasi Setu Foundation is a Section 8 Company (Non-Profit Organization) dedicated to addressing the challenges and opportunities surrounding migration, both within India and across the globe.
The Pravasi Setu Foundation is a leading think tank and research institution dedicated to addressing the multifaceted challenges and opportunities related to migration. We focus on both internal migration within India and the Indian diaspora across the globe. Our mission is to serve as a bridge between migrant communities and policymakers, advocating for inclusive policies that empower migrants while shaping public and global conversations on migration.
At Pravasi Setu, we believe that migration is not just a demographic shift, but a transformative force that shapes economies, societies, and cultures. We strive to be the voice of Indian migrants—both those moving within the country and those settling abroad—by amplifying their stories, producing world-class research, and fostering dialogue between stakeholders.
