About the Tax Vertical at ICPP

The Convergence Foundation (TCF) is expanding its work on tax policy as a critical lever for India's long-term economic growth. To advance this agenda, TCF has incubated a Tax Policy Vertical at the ICPP, Ashoka University, bringing together Ashoka's academic and interdisciplinary strengths with a solid focus on real-world policy questions.

The Vertical aims to build an independent, long-term research and policy platform focused on how India can strengthen tax administration, compliance and institutional design while supporting investment, productivity, formalisation and growth. Its work will combine rigorous research, evidence generation, international benchmarking and implementable policy design, with engagement across the policy cycle.

The Vertical will initially focus on tax administration and compliance across all taxes, while building distinctive datasets, research capacity and institutional partnerships over time. It will serve as a research institution,



policy sounding board and convening platform, with independence and freedom from commercial or success-based advisory work at its core.

About the Role

The Tax Policy Vertical at the Indian Council for Public Policy (ICPP), Ashoka University, is establishing India's leading independent centre for research on taxation, tax administration and public finance. The centre aims to generate rigorous evidence, inform policy reforms, strengthen state capacity, and contribute to India's long-term economic growth agenda under Viksit Bharat 2047.

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Associate with 2–3 years of experience in economics, public policy, public finance, or related fields to support research, policy analysis and stakeholder engagement across direct taxes, indirect taxes, tax administration and institutional reforms.
