India Center Foundation

India Center was born in 1996 with the vision to play the role of a catalyst in the development of India. Inspired by Japan’s vitality and restless pursuit to develop the country into an international leader in economic activity and other fields, India Center believed strong ties between India and Japan could benefit both countries immensely.

When building a nation-to-nation partnership, there are three important factors: common themes, communication and human exchange between both peoples, and economic interdependence. In order to make this a reality, India Center Foundation has taken many initiatives like The Indo-Japan Global Partnership (common theme), Promotion of Indian Movies as a means of mass communication and the development of Information Technology as a model for economic interdependence between the two countries.

India Center has experimented the soft power of films to boost the relations between nations (Japan and India is one example). Currently we are supporting and producing with the help of Japanese and Indian producers and directors in the first ever Indo Japan production.
