Tamil Economic Forum
an independent think tank dedicated to advancing knowledge and dialogue on geopolitics and geo-economics relevant to the Global & Tamil community.
Distinct from other organisations, Tamil Economic Forum operates on three core principles:
- Fact-based Neutral Analysis: We provide objective analysis that cuts through media bias, combining economic and political insights through an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral approach—bringing together geopolitical and geo-economic perspectives under one roof.
- Data-Driven: We rely on multiple data sources to shape our insights, allowing the data to lead rather than fitting it to a predetermined narrative. Our approach delivers the most relevant signals to our audience—cutting through the noise and avoiding information overload.
- Global Tamil Focus: Serving a global Tamil-speaking population of approximately 100 million, with a particular focus on Asia - where Tamil is an official language in India, Sri Lanka, and Singapore - and widely spoken in many other countries without official status.
Our Vision
To drive progress, foster resilience, and empower the Tamil society and economy through knowledge, collaboration, and strategic insights.
Our Mission
To establish trusted partnerships, enrich dialogue on contemporary and impactful issues, accelerate the exchange of knowledge, and offer expert guidance to strengthen and advance the global Tamil community.
