Pune International Centre (PIC) was launched in September 2011 by a group of distinguished citizens who envisioned an independent think tank that would provide a platform for debate and deliberation on issues of local, national, and international significance.

The Centre serves as a vibrant forum where intellectuals, academics, business leaders, and policymakers converge to address critical challenges facing modern society. Our Memorandum of Association (MOA) outlines a commitment to promoting social welfare through research, education, and the dissemination of knowledge in various fields including international relations, environment, and innovation.

Our journey has been marked by significant milestones, from the inaugural Pune International Literary Festival to hosting high-level G20 side events. The MOA anchors our institutional integrity, ensuring every publication, event, and partnership aligns with our core values of objectivity, excellence, and inclusivity.
