We are a cross-disciplinary collective of researchers, ethnographers, cultural analysts, and field observers.
Rooted in different parts of India — and different lived experiences — our team brings local sensitivity and sharp observation to every insight we uncover. We don’t just study India. We are India.

Who We Are

At Future Ideas, we explore the everyday behaviors that define Indian life — how people eat, buy, celebrate, and make choices that are rooted in deep cultural patterns.

We observe not from the outside, but from within — decoding how rituals, habits, traditions, and values continue to shape decisions across generations, regions, and economic classes. From fruit markets to marriage halls, mobile apps to temple towns, we study what drives Indian society — and what quietly transforms it.

How We Stay Connected

As part of the Future Group ecosystem, we’re connected to the lives of millions of Indians. This gives us access to real, on-the-ground insight — drawn from over 320 million buyers, 30,000 businesses, and hundreds of diverse communities across India.

At its core, Future Ideas is not about trends. It’s about meaning.
We believe understanding behavior is the first step toward meaningful change — for brands, storytellers, researchers, and anyone curious about what India is becoming.

Why People Work With Us

Because we listen deeply, look beyond data, and care about the meaning behind every behavior.

Behavior First, Then Numbers

We start with people — their routines, values, and choices. Only then do we turn patterns into insights.

500+ Cultural Studies and Field Observations

From remote villages to digital-first cities, we’ve explored India’s diversity across language, class, caste, and aspiration.

Field Roots in 20+ States

We work with communities, not just subjects — observing how life unfolds from region to region, ritual to ritual.
