IDF is a privately funded, non-profit, non-partisan research foundation set up as a Trust on April 2, 2003. Its major objective is to develop awareness about how markets work, why they are desirable and how we can develop them. IDF aims to help policy makers transform emerging economies into market based societies. There are three aspects to its activities:

to offer recommendations on what needs to be done. These recommendations are derived from research and analysis;
to generate a blue-print of how to implement the recommendations. These are worked out through interaction with practitioners and stakeholders; and
to disseminate its work through publications in peer-reviewed journals, workshops, seminars and various media to reach out to practitioners, policymakers and the general public. It also undertakes pilot projects to demonstrate how its recommendations can be realized.
