It’s our 20th!

Published 9 July 2024

CSTEP marks its 20-year milestone with a refreshed visual identity that reflects its growth from a small research group into a leading public policy think-tank. The article looks back on its journey and signals a renewed commitment to tackling emerging challenges in sustainability, energy, climate, and technology.

As we commence our 20th anniversary, here’s unveiling the new logo.

It has been an eventful two decades (well, almost). CSTEP started small, with a handful of employees on 30 June 2005. The vision of our Founder-Chairman, Dr V S Arunachalam, was to set up a think tank that used science and technology to build a secure, sustainable, and inclusive world.

CSTEP started operations from a small room in Dr Arunachalam’s home, which Mrs Meena Arunachalam was generous enough to share with her husband’s colleagues. Since then, it has been quite a journey. Today, CSTEP has a 100+ workforce and offices in Bengaluru and Delhi NCR.

Over the years, CSTEP’s core has remained unchanged and unwavering. Our studies and policy solutions to real-world problems remain rooted in science and technology. We recommend science-based solutions to governments to help inform their policy decisions.

At CSTEP, we follow the ecosystem approach — working with partners and collaborators — to ensure that solutions are implemented at scale. Science, technology, policy, and collaboration are at the heart of CSTEP and the new logo.
